take it out and look at one of 2 things.

1) after you get the casing off and can see the baords and all there are 2 wheels in front. they are located in bottom left and bottom right corners. there should be a thin plastic belt around them. realign that on the wheels.

2) the ejecter wheel that are near the ceds themselves. They grab the cds to eject or accept cds. take some rubbing alcohol and a qtip to it and clean both ejecter wheels.

if these dont work there is only one other thing i can think of... the decks that hold the cds are off centered and you need to realign them. if it isnt any of these problems, I say just replace the damned thing, buy an adapter, and be done with it.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll try taking it apart and cleaning and re-align. If that doesn't work I'll yank it and replace it. Thanks again.
