I know the easiest way to fix this is to just go out and buy another
CD/AM-FM player but I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people
out here and maybe there is a easy fix.

The AM/FM portion works fine but the CD player doesn't seem to
recognize that a CD is loaded. Upon start up with a disc inserted
the laser seems to search three times and then the player gives a
no disc error. If I start the CD player with no disc inserted it does
exactly the same. The laser searches three time and then the no
disc error.

Any ideas?

1. Clean the lens.

2. If this doesn't fix the problem, give up trying.

3. Really.

One last thing to try before totally giving up. Check that the turntable
hasn't moved down the motor shaft, preventing the disc from being able to
turn. Common problem on many makes and models. Otherwise, as others have
said, probably the laser at the end of its useful life.
