When inserting a cd the player will either not spin at all, or start spining and stop after 2 seconds. Needless to say he does not recognize the cd then.
The problem happened in the middle of playing a song. It then slowed down (music became gibrish) and then stopped spinning.
Enejct and insert of the tray works fine, apart for the spining of CD. Resetting the system (it's a 4 components-connected hi-fi, at that time was quite expensive) does not help.
I have opened the cd housing and couldn't find any dirt. Not on the lens nor anywhere in the mechanism. Reading some advices here I have used door-lock oil spray on the white gears connecting to the 2 motors and on the 2 motors themselves, however not sure I oiled the right points. As far as I can see under the tray there are 2 round motors. Probably one is for spinning the cd other for the tray or the lens location, not sure.
What surprised me was to find on the small rail (left) of the lens mechanism a white drop of what looked like a cosmetic cream. I thought I have dropped it by chance, but it doesn't make sense. Anyhow it was one place on the rtay quite a large drop of white cream you would not expect inside electronics. Maybe it has something to do with it.
-   I have had the system for the last 10years and it was playing fine till last summer last year when l realised that it won't play my old cds, so l couldn't play my classic cd and now l can't even play new purchased cd.....what's going on..... l paid a lot of monyer for this system{sony mhc-5900} in the rigion of 4 figures and that was in the 90's .
i have been to few of sony centre store and they don't know whats wrong with the system

My Yamaha GS-5 Mini Shelf system will not play CDs. When I turn on the power, the CD shelf automatically slides out without me pressing any buttons. I press the Close buttom. It closes only to open again in less than a minute. When I put CDs in, it does the same thing and doesn't wait long enough to read any of them. The tape deck and radio work just fine.

What does it mean when no buttons work and the display is just a series of blinking dots? We cannot find our manual. Thanks so much
