Ah, now that's more serious. When a CD player takes in a disc it first moves the laser to the inside edge and tries to focus it. If it can't then it usually ejects the disc again. Unless you are very lucky and it's something simple like a bit of dust or a loose connection then it'll be a dead laser assembly. For which read lots of money.

Actually I would be wary of repairing it. If you are on the road and it misbehaves you are on the road to nowhere, fast.

 

Is there a possibility that something failed, clearing the internal fuse. Now you are lookong for tha first fault - the reason why the on board fuse cleared. How much are you going to spend on repairs, before you have to buy a new player anyway?

I've encountered at least one CD deck model (a Sony in this case) that would do this if it was slightly off level. It might be worth checking this.

 

Otherwise I agree...something serious.
