Title: CD player hack???
Post by: skip2mylou on June 25, 2007, 06:10:48 PM
hey everyone, ive got like 8 cd players, and i guess they all dont work, so whatever. i was checkin online to see what i could do with the motor and the laser, but i couldnt find any hacks involving the CD player. well not any good ones, most of them called for a CD rom drive. i currently like my CD rom drive IN my pc, although that might change in the future. but for now i wanna know if any of u know any cool hacks using CD player pars. let me know. thanks.

make a cool cd player with built in speaker using a hard drive as the speaker :)

the built in speaker sounds pretty cool, ill try that with some small speakers ive got. but im not sure about using the hard drive... that might require too large of a power supply.

you hook the headphine wires up to the arm of the hard drive. cant rly tell you where cuz i dont know if all hard drive arms are the same, and ive never done it before, but ive seen many people do it before.

should work with either, all your doing is hooking up to the arm.ive seen vids with people using antique hard drives that are like for7" drives, then a normal hard drive, then a laptop hard drive, each one acting as a seperate speaker.

sounds cool and u said u DONT need external power?


Title: Re: CD player hack???
Post by: Snafupossum on June 27, 2007, 05:43:12 PM
you shouldnt. most of the power of a hard drive is needed to spin the disc, and you wont be using the disc.

heres a mod for you . take apart your cd player then get the red and black wires now get a 9 volt battery.
red is positive + black is negative - . now take the wres that go to the reader and to the motor. strip the wires and put on 9 volt after you put a crap cd on it and then run
