DCD1 disklavier CD player not playing
2016-07-09 by dean reyburn
Hi All,I have an older MX100A with a Yamaha CD player model DCD1. The DCD1 is not working correctly. It was playing CD’s intermittently for a while, then rarely, now not at all. The unit doesn't start up normally.
I obtained the service manual, and running the self test indicates that either the ram or flash ram is bad, or it needs an OS Update.
This unit is old enough that Yamaha piano service (although very helpful) couldn’t find the appropriate OS Update.
I wonder of someone on this list has this update which is no longer available from Yamaha. It originally shipped on two floppy disks and installs from a Windows computer through MIDI to the DCD1:
Part No: X2153B00 Floppy Disk - Program Loader for WIN (v1.03) (contains the files: LoadProjectCDP.exe LoadProjectCDP.ini)
Part No: X2102A00 Floppy Disk - Program FD
The files could be zipped and emailed easily as they are small.
Lacking that, does anyone have a DCD1 which needs some repair to sell for parts? I suspect this unit would work fine with a new cpu board, but that part is no longer available.
Thanks and best regards,
