Intermittant Rowe CD100 problems
I have a Rowe CD100 that I bought used last April that's always been a
little squirrelly. It will operate flawlessly for weeks but inevitably whenever I add some new CDs and do a reindex, it goes wacky for a while. I reindexed last week and it ran fine for a few days and then on Saturday it suddenly started freezing up with a board error at the end of virtually every song (or sometimes in the middle of a song). I'd cycle power, and then the same thing would happen with the next song, and so on. This went on for several days (until today) when I noticed that both neon bulbs had started flickering like they needed to be replaced, and one of the two large colored bulbs had burned out (the yellow one on the right side, as opposed to the green one on the left). I replaced them all and suddenly everything works fine. I'd like to bring in a pro to check it out and get it working properly once and for all, but just when I decide it's really broken, it fixes itself. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Mark |

The box started malfunctioning again fairly regularly this evening and after
some experimentation I think I may have traced the problem back to the service switch. I'm going to try replacing that and see what happens. -Mark "Spookshow" wrote in message .. .

Replacing the service switch does seem to have fixed things at least for
now. I did several reindexes and everything is working fine. Maybe I lucked out. -Mark "Spookshow" wrote in message .. .
