I have a sony MHC-GX250 that was skipping on songs, so i opened it to clean the laser heaad. When i put it back together, everything went well. I tried to play a cd, and it jsut keeps on reading it over and over, and makes scarthing or grinding noises. I opened the case again to see what was causing it, and it looks like there is a white plastic piece that attaches to a black part that holds the cd from above and spins with it. When it tries to spin up, that white and black piece start spinning wildly, and move the disc out of alignment. It seems i didn't put that little white piece and the black piece on correctly. if I was clear, this is all taking place about 2 inches above the laser(I.E. on the CD part of the system). We contacted sony, and they want more to repair it then what we paid. I need this CD player to be working by monday, tuesday at the latest. It is used for our school's choir practice. I have not had any other problems with it at all. If anyone wants a picture of it, I'll try and put one up on my site for everyone to see.

- Again, This needs to be working by tuesday at the latest!Oct 17, 2008
- It happens regardless of any cd or dvd. Oct 17, 2008
- It happens with any cd or dvd. The problems with loagin the cd i think.Oct 17, 2008
- I meant to say the problem looks like its with loading a cd.Oct 17, 2008
- I have everything open and i am staring into the laser hear assembaly(with it off, of course.). How do i disengage that little black cover that goes over the laser? Also, there is a big black piece of plastic sticking out right over it. Any ways to get around it?
@coolguy: I think that may be the problem, i just need to get access to the laser head.Oct 17, 2008
- Also, that picture you posted, is it of this particular cd player?Oct 18, 2008
- There is a tiny momentary switch that looks like it slides the cover on and off when the try opens and closes. i would try that, but i don't exactly want a red laser pointing into my eyeball and blinding me.Oct 18, 2008
- I couldn't figure out how to get to the laser head.Oct 18, 2008
- I am going to take a video and a few pictures of what is happening, and I'll put out a link to show you. I am extremely reluctant to go and have this repaired, since I am positive that its a simple mistake somewhere.Oct 18, 2008
- I'll tell you for sure that there are no magnets in the cd assembly except in the motors. I am uploading the photos now, i'll do a video later

- Hmmm....Now I see what you part you are refferring to, but I think i have a bigger problem!!! I don't see a magnet anywhere on my cd player. Is the magnet part of the black piece or the white piece? Oct 18, 2008
- Uploading picture as we speak.Oct 18, 2008
- ok. SOrry it took so long. My website's DNS was having a few issues. Heres a link to the pictures. sorry they aren't very good quality.

- Descirbe the magnet a bit more. is it like a rod? There was never a magnet there, or one now. Oct 18, 2008
- huh? I never rated you yet. I didn't see where to do it this time.Oct 18, 2008
- Found the exact poblem! a magnet that held everything together had fallen out and was making everything spin out control!
