| Subject: | Display is out on C90, Please help |
Well, I will bite the bullet. Rather than waiting for a broken C90 with a
good main board to show up on EBay, I will send it into the Loredo Center. I
explained what was wrong (disk slot LEDs out, and display out), I clearly
stated that bothe these problems were the main board, and advised that I
swapped it out with another unit to test and confirm. I even swapped out the
faceplate plastics from the new to the old scratched one to avoid any
potential problems lol. Wish me luck.
Someone else responded a couple weeks ago and had good luck with their
refurb, how is it holding up, and was it done at Loredo?

Just a word to the wise, be very wary of the repair quality when going
through Sony these days. I had an absolutely horrible experience when
dealing with Sony for a repair on a spare C90 of mine... [Shane Sexton

To this day the unit will not read CD's, and it was sent to them in usable
working condition only to be refurbished, but was returned to me completely
broken and missing screws, and once during the four return trips to Sony
they even sent it back to me with a loose part rolling around inside of it.
In any case, make sure to document the condition of your unit before sending
it there way, and take photos. They ended up paying me to have another
company to try to fix my C90, and it still hasn't come back to me in working
condition... Plus they have no equivalent substitute for the C90 when they
run out of repair options either. They offered me an Xplod unit from ~94
that retailed for under $400 in replacement for my broken C90, what a slap
in the face... Boo Sony...

yeah they said they could replace it so I told them I wanted the new
flip up screen I think it was the A1. I told them I have the xdp-4000x and
it would be worthless with out the cdx-c90. they wanted me to get some crap
xplode deck not sure what model. I told them no and they gave the the info
to send it in the get repaired

Question, When you set up the repair with Sony did they say that
if they can't fix the unit, they would replace it with a comparible model
(which we both know there is none)?

Thanks for the quick response.
Due to my FU, I had no choice but to snag another C90 off
EBay, only this one includes everything even the box, from what I understand
it is also hardly used and in mint condition.
I would like to get at least one of these other units in
perfect working order, so if anyone would like to swap a main board for a
perfectly good audioboard, and CD drive unit, let me know.
I love the C90, had way too many Eclipse units in my Element
over the past three years, and not by my choice, they are all crap. It just
amazes me how rich, and SMOOTH the sound is from the C90 is, It just amazes
me that you can't get anything like this anymore, people rave about Eclipse,
and I have to say that the 8455 that I had for seven weeeks before it died
was the best one SQ wise, but again, not quite like the C90. Needless to
say, I need to have a spare so I can sleep at night, It won't be long before
the C90 will be an endangered species, and we won't be able to get another
one. LOL

When using the C90 and 210EQ in conjunction, the VC filter
will automatically be disabled since your audio output is ultimately coming
form the 210eq's DAC's. But either way, it sounds like one or both units
may need repair at this point. Best of luck!
