My Craig ESP 60S Portable CD Player won't work. It starts spinning then stops. I have tried mode and program, but nothing helps. This is my second Craig CD player to do this.

Most likely cheaper to replace than repair. The labor cost for such a fiddly repair would be more than a new unit.

Try clean lens or change the CD hope it will work.

Sometimes the brushless motor driver circuit fails. Rarely does the motor itself go bad. On some models, if the the laser diode is too weak to read the disc, the player will not bother to spin it. It won't spin so a lens cleaner disc won't work You can try to take it apart and clean the tiny lens. Don't use alcohol. Windex and a Q-tip works great to remove grease and dirt. Don't buff it hard. Just wipe lightly a few times and look at it at an angle to make sure it is shiny, not hazy. Almost all of these are not an economically viable repair. If cleaning the lens does not help, you are looking at another portable player.

Install batteries in your unit to see if it will work, if yes then is is more than likely a fuse or a power transformer is open.

Hi!

On the edge of your cd player is a button called HOLD. It's purpose is similar to keylock on a mobile phone, for not accidentally press a key during walking or jogging.

Please slide the hold button on the other position, that should solve the issue.

Hope it helped,

Laser assembly has lost ability to focus on disk surface. Not cost effective to repair. Time to go shopping.

Replace the players they are not repaired.

I have this same DVD player and had the same problem. I have recently discovered that when we open the flip top, one of the "joints" that keeps the flip top attached to the player kind of pops out? We had to snap it back into place after opening the DVD player. Our light still does not come on but the player does work. Just a suggestion!
