Stock CD Player Skipping.....

Subject: Stock CD Player Skipping..... Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:01 pm

I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with their cd player? i cannot play a cd in it very long. it starts skipping really bad. it seems if the player is cold it skips, if it get too hot it skips. it just irritates me so i was just wondering if anyone had some advice or know what i can do.

Yes, this happens to almost everyone. I haven't "fixed" mine yet, but I notice if I bang that cross section between the climate control and cdplayer it stops acting up. Mine will reject discs now and then and skip very easy. But this isnt a solution. This is:

Some say they fix this with one of those lens cleaning kits. Its basically a CD with a little brush on it. You put this cleaning angent on it and insert. As it spins the brush cleanses the laser lens. I havent tried it yet but it works for others.

has yours ever said E 20 or E 21 for like an error? mine does that too. i guess i'll try beating it and getting a cleaner disk.

Yes. I assume E means error and these numbers relate to a specific problem. I don't think anyone knows exactly what they mean tho.

I have got 20, 21, 22, and 13.

I know codes in the 20 range have to do with the CD player, or thats my theory anyway. 10 range is the tapedeck, it shows 13 because my eject mechanism is broken.

I always enjoy beating it myself. smile

Jen, I had the exact same problems as you after about 3 years of use. I tried cleaning, but in my case it didn't help. I ended up buying a lightly used (prob refurbished) model online for $120. Have been fine for about a year now.

I really like the stock head when it works. It's worth the price paid if it works for another 2-3 years... Maybe I'll get better mileage out of this one. smile

Mine will play a CD for about 1 minute, then it gives me and error code 23. This happens with CDs that I have made, I haven't tried a store bought CD yet.

I live in FL so I don't have a 'too cold' problem, however....
My CD player plays just fine, except when I want to change CDs...
Lately its been refusing to eject, headbutt

the button does nothing!
Than one night arriving home I turn my head lights off, and the damn CD finally ejects! clap

It was odd but cool I got the CD out, cool

and more recently the head light trick doesn't work either...
wtf

I assume some wires got crossed, but anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
