I remember about 5 years ago my Sony XA-777ES had problems with reading some SACD's. I cleaned the laser with Isopropyl alcohol and it helped. No problems since.
Same thing happened with my Sony B/R. It was driving me crazy with the message 'cant read the disc'. I cleaned the laser and problem was solved.
I hate this Sony B/R with passion but it still do the job.

Cleaning a laser lens works if the lens is dirty and that's what causing the issue. Cleaning the lens of a faulty laser won't fix anything, although the lens might be clean.

I am repairing a Xindak SCD-2 CD player that uses a Sony transport

I'm looking for the flat jumper film cable that goes from the Sony laser pick up KHM234ASAA to the curcuit board.

On the cable it says: E228339 AWM 20798 80C 60V VW-1
25 pins
26mm (1-1/16) wide
82mm (3-1/4) long
1mm pin pitch


This will be the short wide cable in the picture.

Since I don't know what model Sony player this transport is usually used in, I can't hunt for a model number and the Xindak company is no help.
I have written Tech Cable, but they have not responded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This will likely be a hard to find item. I'd say your best bet is to somehow find a broken player that has a 25 pin ribbon cable. Perhaps you could go around to repair shops with your cable and ask if they have anything.

A little long but found this on Ebay FLAT FLEX CABLE - 25 PIN * 250 mm Long * 1.00 mm Pitch

Liberty Electronics can custom make you any cables you want.

This one is a little shorter

AWM 20624 RIBBON FLEX CABLE 1.00 mm pitch 25 PIN 150 mm 25PIN
