A friend of mine says this is happening in her car cd player, anyone have any idea what could be causing it? She says shes tried all of her cds, i was thinkin a dirty lense or somthing is wrong with the deck. Unless all her cds are scratched at the end and she doesnt know it. If i can fix it she will pay me like 30 bucks so :excited:

Ha ha, you would charge a friend fix there deck? She most likely offered just to be nice. Cut her a break and just get her to buy a cd player cleaner.

Sorry Mithrandir, I didn't mean to piss you off. If I was you and I needed the cash I would also take the offer. Start a small business, nows the time. One summer when I was 15 I went around and dropped off cards at peoples houses. I wanted to cut peoples grass and gave them a price of like $5 bucks per area if it was small and up to $10 if the area was big, front and back it added up. The next day I had more calls then I could handle. From morning to night I made over a hundred bucks. It was good honest work and that was lots of money for me. It's insain what people will pay for man, especialy the lazy ones. I'm not sure how much a business licence is but I'm sure it's cheap and you can write everything off so it pays itself off. I didn't use one because back then I didn't even know you needed one. Anyway I'm sure you don't need a lesson. Sorry again dude.

laser pickup is misaligned. probably from being jarred around in a car for a few years, or just general age.
a car audio repair shop can realign it, or you can just replace the unit.
price will probably equal out either way. I'd guess $150 for realignment.
