How to fix a boombox CD player when it wont play .... My box reads "no disc", but it is in proper position ...

is this a store bought cd or is it a burnt cd... these boom boxes are noted for not playing back burnt media efficiently

buy a cleaning disk, or get a micro fiber cloth, and take the stereo apart and find the laser lens, near the motor that spins the cd, it will be pretty small, gently wipe it clean in one direction, if that doesnt work, the laser has quit working.

Your laser head has probably gotten weak, or the spindle motor is worn. You can probably replace either yourself if you're VERY mechanically inclined, otherwise I would leave that up to a shop.
Good luck.

Well, for the CSD-ED27 the sleep works like this:
1. press STOP/MEMORY and then also
2. press PREPEAT/FM MODE/OSC
3. your display will show 10
4. use the tuner - & + to good from OFF-90 mins

As to you CD player not playing:
it is sounds like the spinner might be not spin completely flat to the optical reader. This happen with my portable CD player, however at this time I do not have a fix for you. Good luck though.

return it

sounds like the stop button is getting a crossover signal

the CD player ALWAYS has vibration... (impossible to make a perfect balanced spinning mechanism...) and this could allow a slight vibration to affect the machine... age making it more prominent and thus the delay in occurance

but more likely the Capacitor has gone bad (13 years is a very good life for the small charge holders) allowing the voltage to go where it isn't supposed to go

assuming you are a DIY guy then trace the path for the stop button and check the capacitors and resistors in the area

usually a connection is make or break but it could have a signal pull resistor with a capacitor to stop direct current.. if so, that is the first capacitor to check... also good news in this case... the capacitor that fits with a pull up/down switch isn't very critical in it's specs so a close match should be fine

first try play Lens Cleaner CD, if you are lucky ,it's done!!

My older model PD6810 had the spindle that holds the CD on the player missing causing the ER message to show and the player to stop working.
