CD player not working

Could also be that the lid/catch is not closing properly, or warn/ The motor does not spin un;ess the lid is secured properly

NO NO NO NO NO NO dont be sticking a screw driver where you dont know where its going!!!! Theres no belt under the turntable as its a direct drive motor. It the platter dosent turn then that means that the laser is not focusing on the disc. This could a combination of five differant things. First is a simple one as the lens may need cleaning. Try first by using a good lens cleaning disc. Second make sure the slider that the lens is attached to is all the way back to the platter as sometimes there is a small belt that drives the slider assy via a worm gear and that belt goes bad alot as the worm gear i've seen get gunked up with air and dirt. Third is the platter its self . It may have slipped down to close to the lens and it wont focus. Forth could be the motor drive curcuit is defective . Coulkd be a bad motor control ic or the b+ going to the curcuit. and finally but not least could be a bad laser assy. If this is bad you might as well buy a new unit unless you can install one your self but be warned if you do you will need to alighn the new PU assy for tracking and focus gains as well as rf azmuth and laser power. Good luck I hope this put a little lite on the subject for ya.

I fixed the CD player on my Aiwa CSD-TD49!

The CD would spin a bit, but the counter stayed at 0:00 with no sound.

Open the unit carefully by removing the six screws on the back, and one on the bottom (all have arrows pointing to them.) There is an antenna wire on the left side, and some more on the right side. You should be able to pull the rear section back enough to shift it to the left.

Look at the unit from the rear left side. There is a small white adjustable potentiometer or variable resistor. Mine started out in an almost horizontal position, and through turning it clockwise almost a quarter turn, fixed the CD player. I can't tell you exactly what this did, but it worked. It was a little hard to put the unit back together, but just be gentle and patient, and you'll get it back into one piece.

Hope this helps!

The Sony CD player (CFD-S26) won't spin and therefore it doesn't play. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

At first I was using a CD-RW, I tried a different CD-R and it worked...apparently this is an older player and 48x CD's work.
