Check to see if it's spinning up...then chck to see if the laser assembly actually moves...not the lens pushing up and down...but the whole thingy moving to track 1...when u push it away...I had a motor lock up this manner once when I dropped the CD-player...checked the drive voltage...was there...but motor was not spinning...took the whole thingy apart...lubed it and spun it a few times...place it back and Viola it spun...fix together everything it it was as good as new...

If you haven't, you might try putting in a fresh set of batteries. That is about the only thing I think you (or I) can do. You might save $$ (not to mention time) by not trying to fix the damn thing. Thanks to Chinese labor, portable CD players are inexpensive (this probably will catch up to U.S. labor someday). With a manufacture's rebate and a local promotion, I picked up AM/FM radio with CD and cassette player for about $15 (from the RiteAid drug store). Even without discounts, they aren't that expensive. Though I understand your desire to fix the good ol' RCA.

I think you're over your head trying to fix it. Heck, I've got books on repairing CD players and I'm over my head. If the batteries don't fix it, start looking at the new models.
