All that’s left was a bunch of cables and metal parts. The power supply was the last part on the right side that I removed to take pictures.
Philips CDI605T MMC with new socket and clock chip. The DS1643 is compatible with all functions of the 8K NVRAM Timekeepers (MK48T08B / M48T08). Then I fitted a 28-pin socket and a Dallas clock chip (DS1643-100). As mentioned before, the Timekeeper chip was soldered from both sides and my desoldering gun needed additional support from a soldering iron on the other side. I fixed the MMC into a PCB holder to be able to access it from both sides and rotate it when needed. Plenty of plastic parts, screws and connectors later, and I was finally able to remove the Mini MMC panel. I will have a look for a suitable silent replacement (like the one that I found for my CPS2) at a later time. The noise that it emits is probably by design. The fan was actually in a pretty good shape and only needed light cleaning. Philips CDI605T extension slots riser removed. Note the connectors on the right side, they have the same size and are therefore easily mixed up. Then I removed the riser for the extension slots and the fan. It is possible that one of them was ripped off when I bumped the DVC in the lower extension card, but the other one was in the middle of the PCB and must have been missing before. An inspection of DVC with a microscope revealed that it wasn’t missing one but two SMD capacitors. It took me a while to figure out where it came from. Philips CDI605T – first view of the TimekeeperĪt this point, I noticed a tiny SMD capacitor that had fallen off one of the boards. This gave me the first clear view of the MMC panel with the Timekeeper (yellow rectangle). To access the next parts in need of repair, I removed the floppy disc drive assembly. The screaming noise is caused by the big wheel with the rubber belt, but one drop of grease on the small part with the gears gets rid of the noise for good. Philips CDI605T optical disc drive (CDM 9). The belt and grease of this drive are still fine. This causes the tray not to move at all or to get stuck or to make an annoying screaming noise whenever the tray is opened and closed. Philips CD-i players with a tray-loading mechanism have some common failures: The rubber belt gets loose or decays and the grease dries over time. Philips CDI605T front panel removed Optical disc drive tray repair Shortcut: While it is possible to remove the ODD with the front panel in place, it will be much harder, especially when trying to put it back inside because of the tight space. #Philips cdi emulator mac os x full#
To have full access to the optical disc drive, I removed the bezel of it and the front panel. Even with a powerful desoldering gun, you won’t be able to do it alone, and the bulky case gets in the way. I strongly advise against it though, as it is soldered from both sides. If you remove the floppy disk drive as well, you can access it from here and try to desolder it.
This is a shortcut to access the Timekeeper chip (yellow rectangle). The bottom has collected many fingerprints over the years.
Philips CDI605T rear panel removed Philips CDI605T right side The debris is also present on the right side.
Maybe I will take the whole case apart someday, to give it a proper sanding. I’ve found only very tiny spots on some of the port shieldings. Luckily, there is as good as no rust on the metal parts. There is some weird white-greenish debris on it that I cannot wipe off, probably caused by improper storage in a wet basement. Philips CDI605T extension cards 22ER9132 (Ethernet, SCSI, 4 MB RAM) and 22ER9424 (DVC R2.1, 1 MB RAM) Philips CDI605T extension cards removed Make sure to slide out the lower card first, otherwise its metal plate will grind on the solder side of the upper card. I began with removing the case and the bezels of the extension cards on the rear. I took special precautions and made photos of each and every step to be able to put everything back together in the end. It is actually possible to perform these repairs without taking the entire case apart (see shortcuts).

I already had experience with a Mini MMC chassis on the very similar consumer player CDI220/00 and knew what awaited me inside (its service manual helped a bit). Some of them was mandatory for operation (Timekeeper), some of them to make it easier on the ears (fan, optical disc drive tray). My Philips CDI605T/20 needed repairs before I can fully use it.
