How to fix your old cd player that won't work (top loading cd players only).
If you're like me and still have an old top loading CD player or stereo unit (combo), there will come a time when the cd just won't start (it won't read- won't play or register). You'll load the cd and it will weakly spin, but never read the tracks and won't allow you to play it. Well, here is an easy, easy fix to get your old CD player reading and working again- its a last resort, but give it a try if you have nothing to lose! (CD player won't start, CD player is broken, my CD player won't work, fixing your CD player, save you CD player)

Helpful tip... Open CD player and clean the track and , friction contact points with isopropyl alcohol... Then apply fresh lube, silicone. 3 in 1 grease to the track and contact points. ... It will be as good as new. The reason you don't want to use force to slide the CD lens back and forth is it not only can break, but also it can throw. the lens position off.

Thank you so much to save my fantastic Sony cd player! I went back-and-forth two times and then add a little bit of WD-40 to the end of a half filled down Q-tip. I carefully avoided the little man’s and put it underneath on the track to make it have some lubricant. Thank you for sharing your recipe for success. I love CD players and you help to save mine for me!👍🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

EVERYONE NEEDS TO TAKE HIS ADVICE!!! This is long but YES! YES! YES! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I can't believe I found you!!! I really love all my cds so years ago, even though my brain kept saying NO, I bought a Bose Wave CD Player. I know - totally insane to spend that kind of money on a CD player. It did sound great though. I don't remember when it started to give me problems by giving me the " notice of doom". I tried cleaning it, bought a new CD lens cleaner - NOTHING. Only today I goggled why doesn't my top loading CD player recognize any CD and there you were. My CDs are blasting as I'm commenting. I am so excited, happy and grateful for your advice. It is stopping every once in a while so I guess I have to move it back and forth a few more times because it's been a while since it read a CD. Everyone tells me I wear my emotions on my sleeve, so thank you so very much for the smile I'm wearing from ear to ear and for this priceless tip. I hope energy travels because I'm sending you tons of hugs 😊 🎵🎶💿

Then after you put your finger on the Lazer lens then get a cotton swab and water. Squeeze out the excess. Wipe it to get the finger prints off. Let it dry then try it.

I have a Sony Discman FM/AM that was made in 1997. All I had to is slide the lens to the right, so it could read the disc. It plays any cd I put in it. It's been sitting in a drawer for years.😅

@@me_bee_ste_1355 I may get irritated sometimes but never mad. Ipa degrades the lens over time because of it's drying it out. It also etches the material the lens is made of. Also you can use a eye glass polishing pad.

I grew up with them but didn’t know this. I tried it exactly as you did and it worked like yours did and boy was I celebrating!!! 🎉 🎈🎊
