CD player kaput?

'95 LaSabre with the factory cd/radio. My cd player reads *ERR* at every cd
insertation. Then it doesn't want to give the cd back when I push eject. All
other functions are fine. Anyone have a similar problem? Any fixes? Thanks.

More then likely the laser is bad. Its 10 years old.

Take it in to a place, like ours, that fixes OEM radios.
Very simple. Should be around $125 to $180 to repair.
Including labor to take in and out of your car.

Of course you can find them on ebay for $30-$50 sometimes, pretty easy to
get them out.

Im an electronics tech,to me it sounds like 2 problems.First of all it is
reading err,most likely it needs cleaning.For the problem with ejecting
thats the take up&eject rollers.You could try to clean the laser with a
Q-tip,then slide a Q-tip side to side in the slot where the disk goes,do
this while the cd is turned on.If you dont want to try,It may only cost
$60.00 or so to have serviced

try a cd / dvd lens cleaner. The problem with ejecting may be related to
the error in reading. It is still in the stage of trying to identify the cd
before proceeding to the next task of ejecting. I have a dvd player that
does this.
