Suddenly a couple of weeks ago me Alpine XQE100240 autochanger decided to start telling me there were no discs in it even though I remember putting the bleedin things in!!!
Asked the question on ere and also a few electronic buffs locally, and they all said "fooked laser" or some electronic component I cant remember, was shot.
Started looking on fleabay and saw a couple go for about £80-£120 without guarantee of working, so I'm thinking that I'm gonna get me troosers pulled down by someone if I want to listen to any proper music.
I decided to take it out tonight, remove cover and have a butchers. The disc cartirdge was going in and noises as though they were loading, but the head unit said no discs. It turned out to be the large black gear wheel that was obviously just jammed. After a flick with me little finger its back up and running.
The moral to this little story is that even if you know fook all about summit, its always worth having a go, just saved myself either an expensive repair bill by some electronics cowboy or buying a used one in unknown condition.
