Error 1 Dam Thing

[andy0678]

i have had the old error 1 message for months now and its starting to anoy the hell out of me im not sure if the laser is broken is there a way to get a replacment laser or shell out for a new head unit

Have you tried one of those laser cleaning discs? That might sort it, otherwise you're probably going to need a replacement headunit.

my head unit failed 2 years ago, it was tempremental, sometimes worked, sometimes didn't, so i tried the cleaner disc and it stopped working altogether...

[andy0678]

Do a search on here to find a fix for error1 code on oem cd playrs.

The laser just needs a clean mate thats all.

My unit was showing ERR 1 when i changed it, may just be that the laser needs cleaning like jomo says, but i found it only coming up with ERR 1 when playing copied / burned disc's, the unit played originals fine, is this also the case with yours???

That could be a problem with the discs? Did you try another brand of CD-R? Was it suddenly showing ERR1 with the same discs or new ones?

You could be onto something there Parthiban, i copied disc's for my 2 boys & some for the car all from the same batch of blanks, the boys played ok in their stereo, so it may have been the brand / type of disc that the lex unit didn't like, but it didn't come up with ERR1 all the time, just every now and again, anyway, no chance now of putting the old one back in just to try it. best thing i ever did was change it :)
