Every time I put a cd into my aiwa cd player it makes a loud, weird noise and either ejects the cd or gives me a E3. I have no idea whats wrong.

sounds internal for sure i would prolly suggest buying new because the way cdplayers are now its almost cheaper to buy new than repair..and even if u fix it you still have a used cd player unless its a 450 dollar one i would get new

welp i work with "defects" daily and i would say 1 out of 10 a "cleaning" kit would help..........to propperly clean a cd player you need to have it taken apart...aka professionally cleaned by the manufacture or a "like" place..also if the tracking is off it costs at least 60 bucks usually

There's a spring inside the head unit, towards the right side, back towards the rear. It holds the top plate down when a CD's in. It becomes dislodged very easily. If it's not where it should be, it will whirr and rattle like hell and then spit the CD back out.

By the way my CDC-X217 has just decided not to play CDs. It ****ing blows, it's a brand new (to me, got it used) unit. I'm mad. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
