Default AIWA CD player early failure

is it just dirty?

I fix most CD players simply by carefully cleaning the lense on the
laser with a Q tip and alcohol....

checkout the Sam Goldwasser sites....

The first time I did clean it, but without success. This second time I
opened it, the lens looked clean, but didn't clean it. I sent it to Aiwa
and they told me that it wasn't dirty, but faulty (may be they lied me).

Thank you for pointing me to Goldwasser's.


Also, some AIWAs develop bad ribbon cables. Gently move and flex the
cable to the laser a few times then try it again. If it works, replace
the cable.
