Harmon Kardon FL 8450 CD player display is dark and disk motor spins continuously






When powered on the display is dark and disk motor spins continuously. Possible Power supply problem.


Checked positive and negative 12 volt regulators, both check good.
Checked positive and negative 5 volt regulators, the negative was good but the positive 5 volt was outputting  zero volts. So I checked the input to the regulator. It was suppose to be 13 volt but it was sitting at 1.2 volts. So it's not the regulator, it the input to the regulator.


 I traced the input leg back, and I found a bad 1 ohm resister. (R312) was open. Replaced resistor and problem was fixed.
