Portable CD player not playing, makes klunking noises
My daughter has a portable CD player from some no-name company I've
never heard of (got it as a gift). It has started not playing. Put a CD in, close the player, and there are these soft klunking noises from inside, like the disk is slowly trying to spin. This lasts maybe five seconds and the spinning stops. I have tried several CDs and new batteries in the thing, none to any avail. Is there a simple fix, or is it time to chuck the thing and buy a new one from a known manufacturer? |

This lasts maybe five seconds and the spinning stops. It's possible that the pickup may have went bad or there is a problem with the servo. The clunking noise is most likely coming from the objective lens in the optical pickup. Is there a simple fix, or is it time to chuck the thing and buy a new one from a known manufacturer? I would recommend replacing it with a portable CD player from Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Aiwa, or Kenwood. I do not recommend any of the other no-name brands, RCA, Philips, G.E., Magnavox, Koss, or Sanyo. - Reinhart |
