Eclipse CD8455: INFO 3

[MegaHurtz 10+ year member]

Lately, I've been getting an INFO 3 message on my CD8455 when trying to play audio CDs. This doesn't happen all the time, I got it this morning when trying to play a particular CD, then I switched to another CD to see what would happen (it worked), then switched back to the original CD, which then worked. I also get the message sometimes after the CD has loaded and I try to change tracks, it's like the CD player can't find the track I want to play.

Same happens with MP3 CDs, sometimes I will put a CD in and it will say NO SUPPORT, and it might work again if I take it out and put it back in. If it eventually works, sometimes it will have trouble finding other folders/files on the CD, or have trouble reading filenames. Again, it's like the head unit is having trouble finding the start of a track or the start of a folder...

Anyway, sound off season is just around the corner and I need to look into getting this problem taken care of. What do you guys think is the problem and what do you recommend?

I had a similar issue with my 8454 (last year's model). I bought it second hand from a guy on Ebay. I could play track one well, track two okay, but when I would try to skip ahead or use random I would get "Error 3" after about 40 seconds. I sent it in for service (jammed CD mechanism) and now it works great. Mark

How much did it cost to get fixed?

How much did it cost to get fixed?

It was $94 including return shipping. Flat rate fee. Seeing as it's an 8455 would it still be under warranty? Mark

Bought it used, no warranty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Going to **** sending it out, I might buy a cheap deck to use in the meantime.

I sent mine to United Radio Service on Friday March 3rd and had it back on the 15th if memory serves me correctly. They're awesome. http://198.66.219.68/yourservicecent...rpricing.shtml Mark

My CD8454 also suffers from this ino 3 nonsense. Also bought it used on the forums...Exact same symptoms as far as randomly working then not working.

Thanks for this info. Ima send this ***** in. The fellow i purchased it from here was so nice as to offer to pay for the repairs, so we're going to split the cost. Your link is broken -- could you try again?

http://198.66.219.68/yourservicecenter/customerpricing.shtml Wow, you've got better seller than I did. After much deliberation and insinuation that I am a bumbling, hack installing, Neanderthal, idiot my seller agreed to pay me $20. Better than nothing I guess. Haven't seen payment yet so we'll see.
