Default Disc Player

My disc player in the trunk don't work in my 95 when I press the button on the head unit. No fuses blown, no codes and the disc's go in and eject when I press the green button on the disc player. This tells me I'm getting power. Now I did disconnect the battery for a few weeks. Maybe this has something to do with . I looked for a disc player relay with no luck. Any thoughts might be helpful

Now its working !! Didn't do nothing to it.
I have to play a FM station for the first 10 mins or so then push the tape/disc button on the head set. Then it works perfectly. I think this thing has a mind of it own.

Lightbulb Probably common cold solder joint issue.

You're probably suffering from the same cold solder joints that many owners have with their OEM Alpine head units.

There is a specific surface mount component that affects the connectivity to the CD changer, but there are a lot of other functional issues that arise from the various other cold solder joints as well.

Mine used to start mostly working once it warmed up too, if I could get it to work at all, but it was so unpredictable that I had to get it fixed or replace it.

I had mine rebuilt by Southern Electronics and so far it is going fine now.


Here are a few threads that talk about the cold solder joints and related issues:

I sent mine to Southern twice a few years back, both head & disc player. Back then the noconn code was coming up. I even sent a copy of that articular someone wrote about the broken/unsolder joint with pic's on what the problem was. Anyway, its "working",today, can't say it will tomorrow. I rarely listen to the radio or disc player so I can live with it. Just nice to have everything working as designed.
