Hello,since this unit is a top loader its very susceptible to dust and dirt on the laser.I recommend opening the cd door ,locating the laser( small bluish or clear lens) and gently rub a dry q-tip over the top of it.

I have an onn bluetooth boombox that works fine with FM, bluetooth and CD's but as soon as i unplug it to use batteries only the FM and bluetooth works and it can no longer read ny CD's

If your onn bluetooth boombox is no longer able to read CDs when using battery power, it is possible that the batteries are not providing enough power to the CD player. CD players require a lot of power to spin the disc and read the data, and using low-quality or weak batteries may not be able to provide enough power for the CD player to function properly.
Here are some steps you can try to fix this problem:
  1. Use high-quality batteries: Make sure that you are using high-quality batteries in your onn bluetooth boombox. Low-quality batteries may not be able to provide enough power for the CD player, and they may also leak or corrode, which can damage the CD player and other components.
  2. Use fresh batteries: If you have been using the same batteries for a long time, they may have lost some of their charge and may not be able to provide enough power for the CD player. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones to see if that helps.
  3. Use rechargeable batteries: Rechargeable batteries may be able to provide more consistent and reliable power to the CD player than disposable batteries. If you are using disposable batteries, try switching to rechargeable ones and see if that makes a difference.
If these steps do not fix the problem, it is possible that there is a problem with the CD player itself. In this case, you may need to contact onn customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps and help you determine if the CD player needs to be repaired or replaced.

Why does my cd player on my Radio/Cassette/CD boombox keeps reading ncd on all my CD's even on my disk cleaner cd?

The laser assembly is not reading the disc, as the laser ages it becomes weaker until it can no longer scan the disc and can not play, you have done everything that I would have recommended, at this stage it is far cheaper to replace the boombox than replace the laser pickup assembly.

The cd player part of my model CD 102 combo radio, cassette, cd player quit working. The motor tries to run three times, then quits. I can replace the player section if one is available. How much is a...

Since the motor tries to start up, I don't think it's a motor problem. I think that the problem is at the lens; it can't read the cd so it does to stand by mode. I suggest you a cheap solution. Buy a cd/dvd cleaner set, a wet one is better. Follow the instructions on the set. The main idea is to put one drip of the included liquid at the set (usually isopropyl
alchohol) at a specific place (like small brush) on the disk surface and play this disk. That way the "brush" will clean up the laser lens and after that the cd/dvd player will be able to read the disks. BE CAREFULL not to put too much liquid on the "brush". In case you can, use a Q-tip with isopropylic alchool to clean up the cd lens manually.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or add a testimonial.

The CD player is no longer working. Not sensing it.

buy a cleaning disk, or get a micro fiber cloth, and take the stereo apart and find the laser lens, near the motor that spins the cd, it will be pretty small, gently wipe it clean in one direction, if that doesnt work, the laser has quit working.

Cd player is not working. One day it was working and next day it wasn't. I guess a button was pushed and now we can't figure out. Cd player will not read or play cds

?: Does the cd spins? If it does the optical eye that reads the cd could be dirty. Clean the eye with cd lens cleaner. If the cd is not spinning the motor could be bad. Also some cd players can't read certain disks because of the density of the disk. Make sure you read the manual to see what cds are compatible with your boombox. I hope these solutions were helpful.

Good Luck
