I have an Eclipse cd5423 which turns out to be a pretty nice stereo. burns and rips cd's and stores music onto a small hard drive built into the stereo.

Anyway it powers on and plays cd's and radio, the thing that doesn't work is the sound. At max volume the sound coming out of the speakers is extremely weak. (speakers work perfectly i know for sure the problem is with the stereo.

I opened it up but I can't see any bad soldering or burned components. Anyone think I could fix it? I would hate to junk it.

Also, I fixed another stereo, but that one did not power on at all. so I opened it up fixed some of the bad solder in the terminals where the port connects to the harness. after I put everything back together I wired it in and worked great best part was I got it for free

I'm just saying this so you guys don't think i broke it or i don't know what i'm doing I'm nerdy sometimes (all the time)

Have you tripped the security feature on it? Not sure if when that happens, if it stops working completely, or if it only works partially, but worth asking.

I'll look into it, but I don't think the security would limit the audio, maybe the features yes. thankyou.

I got it fixed. After hours of un soldering and re soldering I noticed a black stain on a small section of the printed board so I cleaned it and it worked perfectly Now it's going into my dads car since I already have a good one.
