    Replacing incandescent bulb on Pioneer LD player with led. Need help :)

    I have a pioneer dvl-909 LD/dvd player from 1998. It has a light on the front panel that lights up when you play a dvd. I removed the bulb and it appears to be a tiny incandescent bulb. Its measures "open"/dead and the bulb is black like it's blown. The socket it fits into measures 5v. I've looked up the schematics and there's no indication of the amperage. I don't want to spend any money on new parts, but I have a pack of like 100, 3v, 20ma LEDs and I have various resistors.
    Is there a way for me to determine the amperage going to the old dead bulb with my multimeter?
    I don't mind blowing a few of these LEDs, but I don't want to damage the player's circuitry. What LED, resistor combination should I use?
    Thanks!

      The schematic seems to show the bulb with a diode (led) icon, but it looks like an incandescent bulb...

          Lamp VEL1022, the same style is used in car dashboards called T3 or T4.2 or T4.7 depending on OD. So it has a base and might be a 5V grain of wheat lamp like used in model trains.
          I'd replace it with a white 3mm or T-1 size LED plus 100Ω series dropping resistor if you cut a PCB trace. Or scavenge an LED out of some junk. You can remove the bulb from the base if you want to fit it in that. I'd just solder it to the board.

              Excellent! Thank you.

                  When I do LED conversions I use a LED driver something like an AL5809 etc. It keeps the guesswork or calculating the proper resistance for the dropper resistor out of mind plus you can use much higher voltage rails too. Makes it very convenient and efficient. Whatever anyone prefers, I guess…

                      Repairing the Hitachi DA-6000 CD player
                      by nervous_capybara
                      Hello everyone !

                      I recently conducted maintenance on a Hitachi DA-6000 CD player for my grandparents : it had two distinct issues.
                      Feel free to share your experience if you ran into other issues.

                      DISCLAIMER : BE VERY CAREFULL WHEN OPERATING ON THIS SYSTEM : THE HIGH VOLTAGE IS VERY CLOSE TO THE VARIOUS TESTING POINTS, PROCEED WITH CAUTION

                      I could hear a motor spinning inside the player but the CD tray would not come out.

                      Pioneer PD-F1007 CD player not reading
                      by Xabi
                      Hi guys, I need some help with a CD player. It is a pioneer PD-F1007


                      The issue is that it doesn't play any disks. The disk gets loaded, spins up, but it doesn't actually plays. Just keeps spinning until I stop it.

                      If I put in the CD the wrong way, it will eject it quite quickly, so the unit at least understands that a CD is in and if it's in the correct orientation, tries to read it, but for some reason it can't.

                      I started with cleaning the lens to be sure, but ofc that didn't help. Also the laser is ligthing up at least, so it's not totally...

                      TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
                      by repair-it
                      I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

                      Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

                      CD Player Pioneer PD-Z560T does not open trays
                      by Dobsuk
                      Hi, i have got one Pioneer PD-Z560T 2 CDs player. The problem is that it is open tray 2 but close it immdetiatelly and does not open tray 1 at all. At the same time it does not play the CD which i managed to insert into tray 2. Just uploaded some short videot here as it is not very easy to explain that is happening. I can hear some noice as something is trying to spin the disc or something but do not have any idea when it is coming from.
                      Any advises, please? Thanks.
