Hey guys,

I own a Yamaha CDX-1110 player that needs a laser replacement.
The model is TAOHS-HG1, and it seems very hard to locate. The guy fixing the CD can't seem to find one and on ebay there are also none.

I hoped some of the hardcore dudes around might know where I could locate it.

Please try to join the search since I am really up for fixing this one instead of getting a new CD player.


Thanks alot guys!!
 
sorry to break it to you this way but, it sounds like u r $##t out'a luck. I remember seeing one of these laser units for sale (new old stock) on the fleabay within the past year. You either have to wait for another one to come up for sale or find a donor unit. If you end up getting a used one from a donor unit, you will never know what mileage you get out of it.

I am sincerely doubtful that you have other choices. I was in your shoes trying to fix my CDX-1100 but in my case there are other lower-end models with the same head which could be used as donors. While I ultimately found two units with same laser head fairly quick and fairly cheap, my unit appears to have other problems so for now I postponed fixing it and I am more and more inclined to save my $$$ for one of these:

You can look up dr*audio sticky below, read through his posts or pm him if you want specific answers to your problem. He would be one of the
hardcore dudes with lots of knowledge on this subject.
