Sony CDP-C445 5-Disc CD Changer Questions & Answers
Hello. I have a
There is not a battery in your unit, but it does sound like that switch does not work anymore. If you are good at soldering, you can change the switch in a short amount of time.
CANNOT OPEN PLAYER
To open the drawer, unplug the unit while the power is on (so that the drawer doesn't try to open on its own). Keeping the unit flat on a table, look underneath and find the small hole where you can turn the loading gear. Rotate it until the unit opens, using a standard flat screwdriver. The loading gear is a white plastic part with a slot in it. You should be able to see it rotate if you move the drawer by hand.
After manually removing the disc, turn the gear with your screwdriver until the drawer is all the way in, The gear should be able to be turned for three or four more turns when the drawer stops loading. If it doesn't, turn it a bit further unit it "pops" past one more gear notch. It should then turn freely for a few more turns, at this point you should stop. Do not force it once it stops the second time. This is the "Disc Loaded" position.
Power the unit back up and see if it loads a disc and plays correctly.
Player does not recognize disks that have been
Hello,
how long have you been using this player? The problem should be from the lens (laser).
The lens is weak and that's why it cannot read/load Cd's. The weak lens is also what's making it say no disk.
Get a lens cleaner and use it to clean the lens, but if the lens still does the same thing even after using the lens cleaner, then it means you would have to change the whole lens completely to a brand new one.
By so doing your player would play all Cd's with no problem at all.
Good luck.

disk got stuck
Since you have tried so many options and its still not working, my advice for you is that you do a replacement instead of wasting time and energy on setting.
Usually, faults that has to do with mechanism/open & close of a Cd Player is very difficult to set.
What you should do now is to look for any player that is no more working (Scrap), but its mechanism is still working and is similar with yours. Remove and replace it, you will see that it would save you a lot of stress.
This is what I do in situations like this and I find it more comfortable.
Best wishes.
