Subject: Is my CD player toast? Help! From: GUEST,Alan Terego Date: 16 Aug 02 - 09:15 PM A plea for help from a sporadic poster - but long time enjoyer. This is getting ridiculous. I've had two portable CD players stop functioning in the last couple of years and now a pretty expensive CD clock radio has bit the dust. What happens is when I put the CD in it just spins a bit and then stops. The "no cd in machine" lite then comes on. It's like the needle, or whatever the doohickey is called simply can't reach the cd or something. Anybody got any suggestions, or am I just poison for CD players? Thanks Al |

I give the handsome mando player a bad time about giving the deck a "blow job" but it works. You can also use the compressed air that is used for cleaning computer components |
