Zaxour’s CLD PD – Spring 2026 Pre-Orders

If you own a Pioneer LaserActive, you already know that “expensive” is an understatement. So, why not spend a little extra to make sure it doesn’t catch fire?
Zaxour has officially opened pre-orders for their CLD PD power supply replacement. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill hack job; it’s a high-quality, USB-PD based solution (20V/5A) designed to swap out the aging internals of the CLD-A100. It’s a “no cut” mod, meaning you can keep your precious hardware intact while upgrading to modern power standards.
The catch? You’ll need to wait until Spring 2026 for delivery, and it’ll cost you $165 plus shipping. But when you’re dealing with legendary, rare hardware, “cheap” is usually a recipe for disaster. Using a quality USB-PD adapter is the best way to ensure your console stays running for another three decades.
A quick heads-up for the DIY crowd:
While the power supply itself is top-tier, working on these 30-year-old units is a delicate dance. The factory ribbon cables are notoriously brittle and can crack if you aren’t careful. If you’re planning a refurbishment, grab this PSU now—but handle those old cables like they’re made of glass.
