Hi,
I have a Panasonic SA-AK27 mini hi-fi system and I’m having an issue after replacing the cassette deck belt.
When I power it on:
- The CD tray opens and shows "take disc out"
- When I close it, the tray closes mechanically without any problem, but the display stays on "closing" forever
- I cannot switch to any other mode (radio, AUX, tape, etc.)
- When I turn it off, it becomes unresponsive and won’t turn back on unless I unplug it and plug it back in
If I use the STOP + TUNING DOWN button combination, I can bypass the CD mode and switch to others, but there is still no sound.
Important details:
- The issue started right after replacing the cassette deck belt
- The cassette mechanism is in the correct home/stop position
- All cables and ribbon connectors are properly connected and not damaged (checked multiple times)
- The CD tray closes properly from a mechanical point of view
Could this be a CD mechanism timing issue or a limit switch/sensor problem?
Any help would be appreciated!
