   You may have multiple issues involved, but to start with, you need to order a   
   manual for your jukebox so that you can learn how to pull up your error codes,   
   and what they mean. From your description, I'd suspect a dirty CD lens in   
   conjunction with either    
   a faulty mech control board or faulty CCC. Could even be a failing power   
   supply. Get the manual first. Then clean the lens and pull up your error   
   codes. Do not attempt to clean the lens without taking proper static control   
   measures as covered in the    
   manual. Otherwise you can easily destroy the player or shorten its life.
