Sony Mini - Hi Fi MHC - EC55 won't play CD's. Says it is "Reading" then says "No Disk". I have used lens cleaner and reset factory settings. Any ideas

Hi Jose, do you have connected the card with the AM and FM antennas on your Sony HCD EC55?
If this is the case and you cannot tune in, you have problems in the tuning module
Find a specialized Sony technical service
I hope you can solve the problem

Hola Jose, tienes conectado la ficha con las antenas de AM y FM en tu Sony HCD EC55?
Si es asi y no puedes sintonizar nada, tienes problemas en el modulo de sintonia
Busca un servicio tecnico especializado Sony
Espero puedas resolver el problema

you need a CD head cleaner try Best Buy they usually have one cheap it's a CD with little brushes on it

Correct the laser is not reading the disk. Cleaning won't help. Usually not worth getting repaired as a similar new unit will cost about the same!

You need to have the fan in the check,possibly its not working anylonger

its possible that the lens of the laser has collected dust over time but its quiet old so i guess the optical pick up is worn out, replacing would help

I need to unlock a Sony mhc 1300D mini hi fi component , make it to play all the region

If only demo mode is playing,it's mean set is in standby mode.Normally
in standby mode it can't be operated.You have to power on the set by pressing power botton during demo mode.Once it gets power on,it will
start to work according to user required function.If the set not get power on after pressing power botton,then it's an electrical problem
and need to visit your nearby repairing centre.

Hey so one of my outputs in my sony mhc-ec55 has stopped working recentley so i can only use one speaker at a time,does anyone here possibly know the cause and a way i can fix this myself,i dont have alot of electircal or audio knowledge but if you could give me the steps to a solution it would be much appreciated because i dont have money to bring it to a shop

Try changing the belts that control the cd mechanism. There is one belt on the bottom that drives the cd assembly and two smaller ones in the left and right of unit. One controls the cd eject function the other controls the cd selection option. This particular linear skate cd system needs to have its belts changed otherwise the motors won’t work the mechanism at all.

you may have a defective lense . but check your disc to see if they are dirty..
