Amiga cd 32 door problem

Not sure I understand what you're asking here.  You're saying the CD stops playing when the door hinge lifts up?  This seems pretty normal.  Need to look at the hinge & latch mechanism and figure out why it isn't staying closed.

You should also replace the capacitors, as CD32's suffer from the same problems as A1200/A4000, in that regard.

do those caps do any damage to motherboard if they start to leak?

Yes, they contain acid that burns the trace lines on the motherboard! However, if you are using it regularly you should notice weird behaviour if they start to go i.e. sound only out of one speaker etc. I should get mine checked out but it's getting the time. I have had my Video/Sound module recapped because the sound went funny but should have had the whole machine done I guess.

i have not started my cd32 for years. and it wont start now. i have to open it up really soon.. in case some caps are leaking....
