Try running a "Laser Lens Cleaner" thru it, preferrably one that uses fluid. You can purchase one at just about any retail store for 15-20. Good to have and great preventative maintanance. If that does not work, you need a new transport, they do not repair or align lasers. Too expensive. The replacement is 100-150 with labor and a new one is under 200. My suggestion would be if the cleaner does not work replace it and keep the new one clean. CD/DVD/PC etc. all can and should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year. Best preventative maintanance you can do. Hope this helps

motor is wearing out, or belt is slipping, or teeth are worn down

SOURCE: A cd is stuck in 5 cd player. Drawer won't close.

Without knowing the model number, this is pure speculation:

There are some Sony units that can easily get "out of time" in the loading mechanism. This can be caused by a broken trace in a ribbon cable or a defective sensor. Some models can get out of alignment or timing if you push the drawer rather than pushing the close button. Please update this with the model number, and I should be able to give you more details.

Thanks,
Dan

Testimonial: "Thank you for such a quick reply. We looked all over the machine but can't find letter or model numbers. It's probably 10 years old!"

It needs a new laser,also called an optical eye.Since you cleaned it and that did not help,definitely.If the optical eye is bad,no disc will read and it will do just as you described,search and search all day.Probably close to $100 minimum to send it somewhere and have it fixed.When I was doing repair about 12 years ago,the eye alone was about $60.The shop normally has a parts price markup of 20%,then S&H and labor.I looked for a more accurate price on a few sites but couldn't find one.Optical eyes are somewhat universal though so they should be able to do something somewhere.Here is Sony.Good luck,Greg
