Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / February 2004headunit started skipping
My Wharfedale frontloader started skipping on all my cd's. What could be wrong? Will a head cleaner work? Does head cleaners usually work in headunits or is it bullshit? > My Wharfedale frontloader started skipping on all my cd's. What could be > wrong? Will a head cleaner work? Does head cleaners usually work in > headunits or is it bullshit? I'll say it like this. A "head cleaner" (read: "Lens cleaner") now is like putting a bandaid over a tumor. You should have used the lens cleaner on a regular basis to prevent buildup of crap on your lens. Now what you'll need to do is disassemble your unit, and use alcohol on a q-tip to gently dissolve the crap off your lens. You can try a lens cleaner CD at this point, but don't expect much, if anything. -- HammerAttack http://www.teamrocs.com/forums/ Those lens cleaners don't work anyway. Unless you have enough crap on the lens to completely block out the laser it own't matter. The laser focuses past the dust so it doesn't see it. Kinda like the way the TV camera behing a backstop at a baseball game focuses past the backstop so it seems to disappear. Paul Vina > > My Wharfedale frontloader started skipping on all my cd's.

Stunning logic paul...then explain how my sunglasses still work when I'm focusesing on something beyond the lens itself. -- HammerAttack http://www.teamrocs.com/forums/ Because you're looking through a filter. BTW, that analogy came courtesy of Alpine Tech, I just borrowed it, but it's still true. Haven't you ever noticed that it's almost impossible to see the scratches in your sunglasses when you aren't actually looking at the scratches? Paul Vina > > Those lens cleaners don't work anyway.

Makes you wonder why opticians even bother polishing lenses then... ...this is rediculous. -- HammerAttack http://www.teamrocs.com/forums/ Not sure. I know I can't see them on my work shades unless they're HUGE and even those are blurry at best. Paul Vina > > Because you're looking through a filter.
