Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone might be able to assist me in trouble shooting a certain problem(s) with a JVC XL-F254 disc changer from around 1997.
The problems I experience can be either/or:
1) It will not turn on when I press the power button (I do not have a remote) despite it showing that it is in standby mode, OR
2) If it does turn on it makes 'whirring' sounds like it is attempting to spin up, OR
3) After hours of use it refuses to turn off when I depress the power button...
Sometimes I can turn it on and use it as nature intended for hours on end, exchanging discs, etc. without a single hiccup.
I have tried pulling out and then replacing the plug to no avail. I have tapped the side of the unit and sometimes it will start running without any issues...
So, is this something that can be repaired or is the unit giving up the ghost?
Any help/advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
