I have a CDX-750E which I have been very happy with, especially since I changed the OP amps for better ones. It has given years of good service only being used anything like regularly in the past 4 years or so - so not been thrashed.
Just lately it has developed a problem, such that when playing the last tracks of a CD it skips back a little to the previous track. If left to play it will do it repeatedly, but skips back a slightly different amount each time - according to the timer about 5 or 6 minutes or thereabouts. Once it got stuck and played the same part of the track, sounding like an echo, also somewhat alarmingly the display flickers a bit when this happens.
I opened it up and had a look nothing seemed to be amiss, no dust or fluff present inside, but I thought the guide bars for the laser were a bit dry. So I put a very small amount of the lightest oil I have on these guide rails. I used a blower brush on the lens just in case. Thought I had solved the problem as it went away for a while, but it's back.
Any thoughts?
