wildo2ne Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Anyone on here good at repairing the cd unit? I got one from a guy that is very ruff. will load a game once out of about 50 tries, the cd latch was broke so the switch has been hot glued which seems fine as the drive will spin up and all it will just most of the time not recognize a disc. If anyone has any skill in repairing these things please msg me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Have you done a search on the forum already? It might be something simple like a pushed down spindle. In the worst case is your laser worn out, and even that can be replaced easily and is not expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Google this part # OvalBugMan has in his signature, he's kinda the Jaguar CD expert: Jaguar CD Players don't ever die! -they just need their CD laser mechanisms replaced!: part# - VAM1202/M* is $12.80 at dalbani.com (only needed if it still doesn't work after, making sure the cd spindle spins freely & several very thorough cleanings of everything on the unit.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felyx Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 anyone have a link to buy a new laser assembly? Look on eBay: a new VAM 1202 laser transport is about $20 shipping fees included from China. Now better check first if this is the real source of your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I put in the cd myst demo let him run for 20 minutes and then put yopaz Icestar starts immediately I do not understand why the old games start immediately and these recent no It's old. Mine does that too. It will run glass mastered CD's fine like Robinsons' Requiem which isn't old but is like the old ones. For CD-r's it's like the laser needed warming up with the older glass CD's to read the CD-rs or something. I can't explain why really. Just a guess. But now mine seems to be failing at reading most CD-rs no matter what. Laser probably dying. I did read somewhere that CD-r's reduce laser life. Luckily unlike if you own a Saturn that has died like mine the parts are easier to get for the Jaguar CD. New.

Felyx Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Daniele, you should try changing the laser transport VAM 1202 as it seems yours have problem to read every CD. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/227083-jag-cd-repair/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
