CD player gone crap

Hi folks !
I own a fairly old Esoteric CD-Z5000. It just died on me after something like 15 years. Nothing happens when i press play.

I hate the thought of putting it in the dumpster. Anybody have a better idea, besides using it as an anchor ?

Thanks for any advice.

Like light bulbs, lasers do eventually burn out and I had to replace mine after 6 years on a Meridian 508.24. I'll bet you that's what happened. Kudos for getting that much mileage before it gave up. You may be able to get it repaired.

I`d suggest moving on as 15 yrs. is at least one digital lifetime.
