Rowe CD looE rejects cd after playing part of song

Rowe CD l00 E rejects cd after playing part of song not sure if this is just a setting problem or if something is failing.
Has anyone come across this problem ?

aslo could use a rock ola mechanical power pcb with relays if anyone has one to sell juke model 496-2

thanks for any help

Rob

Have all errors been cleared and the machine re-initialized?

Are all discs clean and in good condition?

Any cold solder joints on mech control board and CCC board/

Are you playing commercial store bought cd's? Or are you using home burned/copied discs?

That's USUALLY the sign that the player is failing, on a unit that "new"--check "disc conditions" and any "error codes".
Also, check "Version numbers" and player type--let us know what you read--

i have swapped out the ccc with a known good one same symtpoms ,testing with store bought cds
i have been leaning toward a bad player but dont have another of the same to swap
im going to try re initializing this machine and check for errors as you suggested to be sure
i will post what i find out
thanks Rich

sorry i meant Ron Rich

Did you clean the player--as per the service manual ?
Ron rich

well i got it working not sure which part was bad was thinking it could be the player but didnt have another of the same
so i changed out the mech control box and the player
now is working

another issue on another juke
i have a rowe cd 100 j all is working
the issue on this one is when i make a selection on the keypad or flip the pages i get what sounds like an alarm going off and a small red light on the keypad coming on
i was thinking this might be an alarm of some sort to alert ops if someone is trying to open the lid but i dont see any switchs that might be for this purpose

Rob

Rob,
Which mech/mech controllers do you have ?
Red led indicates power is on--no problem-
Ron Rich

ok without going out to look at it the 100 j has the shorter one ( i know not the best description) about as tall as the cd player mount

the red light is on on the keypad on the cd 100j and making a noise ( an alarm sound of sort)

Rob

If you have the "tall mech controller", with a bunch of led's on it, that is for a CDM-4
The shorter one could be for a CDM-3 or most likely the newer CDM-12, and/or PRO units--most likely the latter as the players won't fit the older frame. BTW, you are not supposed to be able to change types of players, from 4 to 12, without changing the frame--I know they almost fit--but not perfectly, and they WILL cause the gripper to throw discs---
Do you have a "touch pad" or a "regular keyboard" on the J ? If it's the TP, that's the "tactile indicator" that Rowe added to that system--why it' beeping is a good question--it should only do that when a pad is "touched"--'course, IMHO that thing was "touched" from day one--- Ron Rich

well the mech controller i put in the E had the same mounting the guy who brought this here had extra parts but wasnt counting on them to be any good but got lucky i guess
as far as the J it has the soft touch keypad it is making the sound only when touched it is not on continuous But annoying enough ,expecially when setting things up,

i can see the component that makes the sound mounted to the back of the key pad can i just unplug this ??

forgot to ask in last post on the Rowe 100J is that the proper functioning of that alarm device if thats normal or not

Yes, you may just un-plug it. It was not on the original design, but was added because "people" (me included) complained that they had no "feedback" when they used that (awful) keypad. Ron Rich
