help with cd player

[prjkt_c4mry]

well, i use my stock cd player just about every weekday when I go to school, and about a week ago, it stopped working. The first time, a few months back, when I turned on my car and then turned on the cd player, it wouldn't read. Then after a few days, it suddenly started up like nothing had happened. This time it started off when I was driving and the cd I was playing started to skip. I ejected the disc, looked it over, it was clean and smooth so I popped it back in and then it wouldn't read. It tried to read it but then it ejected it back out. It's been about a week since that happened and I was hoping someone on this forum could help diagnose the problem. Thanks

You probably just need to clean the laser lens on it. They have kits for this.

that too or your unit is just defective. get an aftermarket deck is much better.
