Open the changer and inspect the inside of the unit. If there is dirt present, remove it by blowing it out with a can of compressed air.

Wipe down the changer's laser lens with a cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Use very slight pressure, as the laser lens is very sensitive. This will remove any dirt or obstruction on the lens that may be causing problems with the CD play.

Check the status of the changer's fuse. If there is a white film covering the inside of the fuse in addition to the filament being severed, then the fuse is broken. Replace the fuse by purchasing a new, compatible fuse in a hardware store and inserting the new fuse in the changer.
