Ivan Drago Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 My CD player has decided to stop playing CD's, any geeks out there know if i can fix it? Or if i'll just have to get a new one or get it repaired? Sometimes it will play the CD, but just sort of turn itself off after a couple o songs, all the other functions like radio etc work though.

It's not worth fixing cd players unless they are serious high end components. If it's still covered by warranty, contact the company, if not - buy a new one.

Cigaro Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I saw a cool one in Currys. Had a 7" screen with dvd player and freeview. Mines knackered too (High impact issue on the volume control:p) So I'm looking at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 on another note, my remote for the one in my bedroom just stopped working for no reason, change the batteries, still nowt. take it it'll just be the remote and not the cd player/digital radio (it's a combo), as they both work from the player itself? thanks.

Have you checked the infra red sender on the remote and the receiver bit on the stereo? If it is covered or obscured by anything this may be a reason for non-workage...

cosanostra Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 lol, it plays minidiscs, thats how old it is!! Is it a hifi system? Mini-discs were ace but i think their time has passed. Was having a quick look on web and i saw this, looks like a reasonable deal. http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/3342 Seperates are obviously best and this looks like pretty good value.

Mini discs were the bomb, however they went out of date pretty quickly as soon as MP3s became the rage. That one you posted looks pretty sexy likes....

va va voom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 how much roughly? might give that a bash I think they are about a fiver tops! It is just a CD you put in which has a few wee brushes on it and cleans the laser I think. You should be able to get them from any Music or electrical shops.

cosanostra Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 cool, i'll prob give that a bash then. cheers. Has to be worth a try. If you hear the whirring sound and then a slipping sound like the thing is trying and failing to play, that's probably the laser being donald ducked and a new cd player needed.
