I just picked up a '91 GTA that's been sitting in a barn for the last year, and the factory CD player isn't working...it'll accept a CD, spin it for a few seconds, and then spit it back out with an error message. I figured maybe it was just dirty in there, but I've cleaned it the best I can with one of those little canned air things and a lens cleaner disc, but I haven't gotten anywhere. Any suggestions? I would rather not have to buy an aftermarket CD player.

no ideas? I'm looking for anything at all!

 

It's probably the optical pickup. take it to a shop, they should be able to fix it.

 

i had the exact same problem i took it in to a delco dealer they checked it said that the loader mechanism is no good and it wasnt worth fixing, so hope that helps maybe better off with an after market head unit
