CD-i Console 220 - Blinking Error Message
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:30 pm
So I bought a phillips cdi 220 off of ebay and it was supposed to be in working order, but when I place any cd into the disc tray they will not play. I have tried audio cds and many different cdi discs. I am having a problem with the tray. It opens slowly and when I close it it starts to close fine but stops about an inch before it should go in.
So I have to lightly force the tray closed (it tries on its own and makes quite a struggle and some noise). Once the disc is in the player it does nothing. I don't get any buttons to play the disc. If I push play nothing happens. So I turn off the player. Then wait a second or two and turn it back on. Then I receive a blinking ERROR message on the display of the player.
So my disc is not being read I guess? I don't hear any spinning of the disc. But it is hard to tell because I cannot take of the cover. Some of the screws are messed up so my allen wrench is useless.
Any ideas as to what I need to do? (I don't really know the components of the system very well so a good discription would be much appreciated.)
This is my first cdi and I have about 12 games. I would love to see what it can do. Any help would be great! Thanks.
