I have a hardly used Sony CDP XA-5es that does not read CD. It will load, spin and then stop. A tech thought it could be the laser lens issue. Could anyone please help.
Thanks,
Rob
Is this a good question?

Hi @nizora ,
As a first step, try using a lens cleaning disc - example only to see if that resolves the problem
Hi @nizora,
Here is a link to the service manual for your player.
To download the manual when the sentence below the Document preview box changes from This file is downloadable free of charge: ...processing... to This file is downloadable free of charge: Get Manual, click on the Get Manual, as this is the download link. Be patient, as it takes a little while to find the file.
In it there is information on how to disassemble the player, circuit diagrams and the parts list.
Unfortunately that is all I can offer now as the player will need to be opened and the problem diagnosed as to what the fault may be.
Contact a reputable, professional audio electronics repair service and ask for a quote.
At least you can offer a link to the service manual if they say they don't normally repair your model
Good luck with the repair.

Many thanks for your reply. I tried still the same problem.
Hi @nizora ,
Assuming that you've tried different cds then it appears that there is either a problem with the lens or something further into the circuit.
Are the CDs that you are trying to play commercially made or 'home made' i.e. burned to CD-R or CD-RW?
Hi jayeff,
I tried with commercially made cds.
Hi Jayeff,
Thank you very much for the manual link.
