Troubleshooting Crosley CD Players
Disc Integrity
There are a variety of things that could cause you to experience problems with your Crosley CD player. The first thing you should always check if a CD skips or won't play at all is the CD itself. Dirt and scratches can cause the CD player's laser to be unable to read the information on the disc. Clean the disc using a dry, clean and soft cloth and attempt to repair any scratches with a CD repair kit. These kits can be purchased at any major electronics retailer.
The Laser
Another problem that could cause a Crosley CD player to function improperly is the unit's laser. If the laser gets any kind of dirt or dust on it, the laser will be unable to penetrate and will not be able to scan the CD. You can attempt to blow dirt gently off the laser, spray it with a can of compressed air, or purchase a DVD/CD laser cleaning kit. Once you've tried these things, give your CD another try.
Wall Outlet
If your problem is that your Crosley CD player simply won't turn on, make sure the wall outlet that you are attempting to plug it into actually works. It may sound silly, but not knowing a wall outlet isn't providing any power is actually a common occurrence. You could have blown a fuse and not known it, or the outlet itself could simply be wired wrong. Plug your CD player into an outlet that you know works and see if that helps the situation.
