[Novasmithjohn]

I there a way to find what the error on a 1999 remote cd player is. I put the disk in it sounds like it’s reading but ejects and shows error on the radio screen

it's old, unless you feel like opening it up cleaning, lubricating, new drive belts if you can cource them, maybe a new laser. then it might be time to get something newer, there are a couple companys that make retro looking new radio's if the new look is not your thing

might be more than just a new laser, it is after all 25 years old. could be a cap, the circuit board, maybe it is just dirty, who knows.
nothing to stop you from trying though. good luck
I would definitely try cleaning it first and give the mechanical parts a little tiny of lube

Used contact cleaner and caned air. Lubed what I could see without tearing it into small pieces. Will. Sear h the net and seeing there is a diagram on it out there. Thanks

I am assuming that you've tried several CDs, and none of them work?

 

[Novasmithjohn]

Yes tried 4 different disks

Yes tried 4 different disks

And you tried one of those CD cleaning disks that you insert into the CD player and run for 30-60 seconds?

 

[Novasmithjohn]

It would only run for about 10 sec

You may need to end up replacing the entire mechanism, if you get to that point and can find a compatible one. Have you tried a UPull or junkyard part as a replacement?
