denon udm3

[fatz2000]

FIXED!

I thought my denon UD-M3 was ready for the bin (no cd eject problem), but I emailed some chap who sold one on ebay with this fault - he said it was a fuse somewhere too.

Took my unit apart, and I mean apart. All the boards out etc. The previous post regarding the PR003 is spot on. These are fusable links, they look like brown resistors with only a number. In this case 500 (ma).
Mine was open circuit as expected.

The location of PR003 is on the underside of the main board. As you dont have to remove the failed component - you can solder a new fuse on the topside.

CHECK YOURS IS OPEN CIRCUIT FIRST. I did this whilst the component was on board since it should be a short circuit.

My pictures have expired, use this link from poster fredleon

Heres are piccys of my fuse in place. You can see the PR003 markings on the top side of the board.

I've used a fast blow 500 milli-amp fuse (40 pence each), and the unit is working fine now.

Obviously do all of this at your own risk!!

Same problem with the CD drawer. Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly.

I actually installed the 20mm fast blow fuse in a fuse holder to the left of the CD drawer, just underneath the top cover. If it were ever to blow again, a very easy job to replace without removing the CD mechanism...

Thanks very much indeed!

Very happy me
