My Power Button is pushed all the way in, can I repair it myself?

well known issue

sound like you need to clean the laser reader inside get you self a lense cleaning disc.

eBay has them

Probably have to get the laser replaced as long as all the mechanics are working to load the disc.

Mine did the same thing. My player was primarily used in the garage and the cold weather may have caused my player to do the same thing. I just fixed my player. I removed the top cover and looked at the CD in the play position. In the upper right corner from the CD, you will see a spindle motor with a belt on it. Gently spin the motor back and forth carefully with your finger. I rotated it a half-spin in either direction, careful not to dislodge the belt. When I turned the player back on, the mechanism operated as it normally would and began playing the disc. I was able to eject and reinsert the magazine without any issues, solving the problem. Hopefully that will work for you.

The laser eimission might have stopped. The laser pickup unit [optical pickup unit] should be replaced.

You don't KNOW it's dirty.

Before you dive in and possibly wreck it, read this...

And the implicit question is "what to do about it?". No one online is going to fix it for you.

There are a ton of similar units on eBay (Search: sone "cdp CE") for less than it would cost to repair yours.

.and a few with NO REMOTES so they would expect less for them. Your remote would probably work ok on any of them.
