Fixed My Error1!

[jomo]

Had my is200 se only 1 week (40th birthday prezzie) and today i ripped out the stereo due to it having ERROR1 code all the time.

Got my sony head unit at the ready plus my din resizer unit, but when i got the stereo out i had this burning urge to rip it open to see what was causing my ERROR1, on opening it up found nothing out of the blue that smacked me in the face that said "ERROR1" so i dipped a cotton ear bud in meths flipped it over the lazer eye put it back to gether again and "hay pesto" she alive, alive i tell you!

So gonna burn a shed load of cds tonight and have the music that i want to hear now...

PS also fixed the ciggie lighter aswell, ripped it out to find a s,]mall black wire between to poles that had broken? Resoldered a new bit in and i now

have a working lighter to charge my Iphone in the car, SWEET! :D :D :D

Glad you got it sorted mate,

hope the ERROR1 is gone forever

Well done mate, you shouldn't have any problems, I did the same as you did about a year ago and not had a problem since!

I've been having the same problem guys, how do you "rip" it out i.e. the head unit?

If you PM me your email address, I can send you Wozza's head unit removal guide.

Hi Jomo,

Do you think if the lens that was dirty... a CD cleaning kit will do the trick?

as you prob guessed i have the same issue

It's worth a try, I'm guessing you have a top slot CD player? If so, these are pretty solid, ERR1 is not as catastrophic as ERR3 on the early bottom slot players, it is often just a dirty laser or dirty disc.

Guess cleaning cd won't work :)

Think i will fix my cd player this week. I guess Isopropyl will do the trick

[Solhatt]

Done! Works brilliant now :D

You can be fooled if you don't use your brain. At first it didn't find the lens but found out i had to plug in the power cable for 2-3 sec to get the lens out.
