Light doesn't work. I adjust the connector s little bit and i get faint light. Have to hold it barely connected in. . When i did this i think i fried my cd mech board. Fuses seemed ok in power supply and amp. Now i don't get power to half the jukebox. Any ideas what to try next?

 
Looks like you smoked your 8 V line. Rebuild that circuit.

I've found the best answer to CD Pro issues is to replace the drive.
 
Replaced power supply. Its good now.
Replaced mech board. Advertised as working. Hope its good.
Now the cd loader just loads and unloads cds. Just the same cd over and over. That is it.
Anyone know what i should look at now?
 
That sounds like a mech board issue…. It controls most of everything to the mech obviously, do you have rowelink working should be steadily blinking on the cpu mech board etc
 
I know once you reset it, it will load and unload every CD in the machine to check there is a disc and how many songs are on it. That takes a long time. However, if you're sure it's just picking the same CD over and over, you have a problem.

Generally I have to completely disassemble those, then clean and resolder all the interconnect cables between all the boards. That generally fixes them back up if the power supply is still well. (Oh, and replace the soldered-in battery with a removeable battery holder).
 
Ok scratch that…….
Bought a new jukebox. Cd100c.
Loads cd and spins cd. No sound. Put in the ild amp from my cd100a from above with nothing. Is it the cd player or am i missing something. 😮‍💨

Its this. Same cd load then unload. Repeat. I did replace the battery. Did not change anything. Still going through it.

It will only do that if you do a full initialization which is 30 + popular on the keyboard, 31 does individual disc if you would change one on the route…

Once it lays down the cd and if the player its reading it you should hear the coin counter click that means its playing a song, does it stay on the cd player for like 3 mins the average time for a song? If so then you have an audio problem…

Yes that is what it does. Lays down and then clicks. I ran the audio cables to an externsl speaker and it works. So now it could be amp. Ima try taking amp from cd100a and putting into the 100c and see the results. Will report back.
 
Update.
Reseated amp fuses. Amp plug jiggled in half way in power supply speakers popped cracked. Works.

New question. Sound goes normal then soft. Kind of fluctuates back and forth. Does that mean amp nobs need adjusted or is this something else. Right speaker has some feed back too. But sounds good and base pumps!
