CD player WILL NOT PLAY and does not recognize CD presence

Kylie, if there is a CD tray press the eject button and put CD in tray, push tray in easy to load. If no CD tray insert CD into CD slot and push gently to load. Some have a lid on top that you simply open with your finger then load CD. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Sometimes the lazer will get jamed.
Gently move the lazer eye (without touching the lense) to the outside of the disk draw, put in a disc and try.
It might work (has for me)!
If the disk won't spin then the drive is probably stuffed, probably cheaper to replace than repair.

Good luck, new cd/radio players are relatively cheap, so not many people fix them any more.
Throw away society, sorry if this didn't help.

The changer is fubar and repair is not cost effective.

you can look for a radio shop to repair the cd player it would be cheaper to install a aftermarket radio they do have kits if you have steering wheel controls

If the manufacturer's website can't help you, you could try ebay.

Good luck

try cleaning the LASER IRIS with a CD cleaning disk

It seems that CD stack on player's axis.

likely yes. does not sound like coincidence. try this: search ebay for an AS-IS item for $1 and use it for part-swapping. first to swap-the main circuit board holding the micro chip.

Try cleaning the laser lens with a cleaning disk like you might find a Wal-Mart or Radio Shack and see if that helps. If the lens on the laser is too dirty to read that it has a disk then it will not attempt to spin the disk. If cleaning doesn't solve your problem then it may be a much bigger problem like weak laser etc. Good luck.

Easy fix, look at the front of your CD player, you should see a little pin hole, insert a paper clip into it and the pop the CD tray open.
