Help! NSM Firebird error 61 - what is that?
Help please,
My trusty Firebird has stoped working. It takes whatever CD is selected and pops it on the spindle then gives it a little whirl and stops. Seconds later the disc spins again then the display shows "Error 61" and the CD is returned to it's space in the rack. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Could it be a laser reading error as the drives and everything else seem to be working fine? Many thanks to anyone that can help, or even provide a list of the error codes and what they mean. Cheers, Mike. |

Cheers, Mike. I don't know specifically about NSM, but a CD player that behaves like that is very very likely to be faulty. You could try cleaning the lens, make sure that the CD is spinning freely (not scraping or rubbing on anything as it turns) and also that the centre hub is clamping the CD down firmly enough so it cant slip when driven by the motor. Other things, like making sure that the CD player connectors are on properly and are clean, not burnt, and that there aren't dry joints on the boards, corroded spade lugs on power connectors etc should also be checked. |

All,
Many many thanks for the responses. I was hoping for an easy answer like "tickle it's chin" or something like that but now I'll work through the various suggestions and see if we can solve the problem. At least with all your input, I've got something to go on. Thanks again.
