Full System Recap
Electrolytic Capacitors have an estimated shelf life of about 15 years and many of these old retro gaming systems are long past that time. Prevent unwanted power, video or audio issues by proactively replacing these in your Jaguar CD system. If your Jaguar CD is already exhibiting issues a failed capacitor could be the culprit and is usually a good first step in the diagnosis and repair. All capacitors will be replaced with a cap kit from Console5 which I will provide for this service, included in the cost
Limit Switch / Tray Sensor Switch Repair
Both of these sensor switches are vital to the operation of the Jaguar CD. The Limit switch tells the laser assembly when it has reached home and to stop moving along rail, unfortunately over time these solder joints can weaken and the wire can break from the leaf switch severing the connection and causing your jaguar to make a grinding noise as it keeps trying to move further than it should. This could damage the optical assembly if left unchecked. Likewise the Tray Sensor Switch tells the Jaguar CD when the door is closed and to begin read operation, so if your Jaguar CD is acting like a disc is not inserted when the tray is closed, this is a likely culprit. If you are having either or both of these symptoms choose this service and both connections will be repaired/reflowed for longevity
Optical Drive Maintenance
Over time the optical drive assembly can become dirty such as the laser lens, the gears and rail which can impact reliability. This service will fully deep clean all the gears, rail and lens housing assembly and have fresh grease applied throughout. The Laser lens will also be carefully cleaned
Full Service Cleaning
After years of heavy use many consoles will exhibit accumulation of dirt, dust and debris and this can not only impact the aesthetic appearance of the system but dirty system components can impact component life and performance. Your console will be completely disassembled and cleaned from the inside out. All PCB and internal electrical components will have dust and debris removed via an electronic air compressor and then be cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and brushed clean. Outer shell and other non-electronic components will be taken apart and soaked in a soap/water mixture and carefully scrubbed to remove stains and debris buildup. Any light markings, scuffs or other blemishes will be safely removed to the best of my ability. Once the console is re-assembled the outer shell will be given a coat of plastic UV protectant to restore shine and prevent UV damage
