My cd player plays cds for an hour or so and then when I change the disc it will not read any more cds, this only happens after it has warmed up, it plays fine when I first turn it on, what could cause this?
Sound's like a laser going bad. If you can see the lens, get a can of compressed air and, about six inches away, blow some at the lens. Occasionally, this will remove a stubborn spec of dust and all is well. May the force be with you.
There may be a capacitor in the power supply that powers the laser directly ... as this capacitor ages it starts to gradually fail.. (its ability to charge ..store and discharge) .. less in the beginning more with age
Your works cold .. fails hot scenario seems to indicate a cap failing
If the laser diode was bad or the spindle motor unable to ramp the CD up to speed you would get a .. ERROR or NO DISC .. message in the display as the disc cant be read
Because your player plays cold .. laser diode and spindle motor are working ...
