mojomonkey Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Place the cd on your index finger, spin it very fast and sing to yourself. I suspect that its an integrated circuit and the cost of repairing it would probably be close to, if not more, than buying a new one. Sadly, the days of repairing things seem to have gone.

Sheriff Buford T. Justice Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I agree. Read the wiring diagram before you try to install it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have a Cd player with a faulty amp in it,what can I do to fix it??? this is it.... http://www.blaupunkt.com/US/7647573510_main.asp Thanks James Connecting it wrong (which I expect) could/ will blow the amp! Sorry to have to tell you this but if the amp is blown (esp. Blaupunkt) then you would be better off buying a new head unit. A new amp on the circuit board will cost you more than the machine itself! Been there,done that (although it used to be my job)...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Might be a daft question, but worth asking nonetheless. Is the amp switched on? On the higher end Blaupunkts you can switch them off to use an external amp. Is it under warranty? If so, send it back! If not, buy a new one. Also check your wiring. No point in replacing it if you've wired it up wrong and knackered the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Of course, it's just possible that the amp is protected from reversed polarity by an internal fuse. Open it up and find/replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 That's possible although usually that would just be something like a blade fuse shoved in the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 That's possible although you may be mistaking what I mean for the main fuse on the supply side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I don't believe so. The main fuse on the supply side of an amp would normally be an inline external fuse on the main power feed direct from the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 But not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Of course not. That's why I didn't say always. Indeed, I have 'fixed' a few items of electronabilia by replacing the exact item you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
