CD player not reading


I have a CD player that is absolutely not reading anything. I assume it has something to do with the lense. Anybody have an idea? I would prefer to repair it myself as it is only worth about $350 new.

thanks in advance!

Got it apart and did everything I could. The lense is still not reading, and also there was a slight smell of a burnt circut board. So I would say that it is over the the HK CD player. But at least I know what the inside of a CD player looks like :)

Now on the my next HK problem over at the amp-pre section.
A point well taken Elizabeth.

However I don't have a clue how check for a bad capasitor. All the wires seem good but I did notice a brown spot on the circuit board. Perhpas it is defintely burnt up. I do recall there was a time that I kept the CD player on top of the Receiver. Then one day I noticed they were both very hot. I think most likey the damage had already been done. Just like sometihng put in a micorwave keeps cooking after it is taken out. My CD player must have kept cooking :)
