CD "No Disk" Error
I am getting a “No Disk Loaded” or “No Valid Disk Loaded” error on my CD player. This is the in dash single disk player in a 2008 ZO6 with 2LZ and NAV. I mostly listen to audio books on CD.
The CD player used to play music disks and book disks without any issues. Then the CD player would start to forget where it was in the book and would start the disk over from the beginning after the car had been shut off. When new it would open the book right where it was playing when the car was shut off.
Next, sometimes the player wouldn’t acknowledge the book disks when the car was restarted and would display the error when I tried to play it. If I reloaded the disk the player would usually recognize it and start over from the beginning. It still played music disks without error.
Later, it was difficult to get the player to recognize the book disk at all, even after reloading it several times. It still played music CDs OK.
Now it hardly ever recognizes a book CD even after several tries at reloading it. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries to get it to recognize a music CD.
For a while it seemed to help if I cleaned the disks before trying to play them. That doesn’t help any more. I have even tried waxing them to fill in any scratches and that doesn’t help either.
Once the player recognizes that there is a disk in the drive it plays just fine.
I’m not an audiophile so I don’t have a head cleaning CD. Does anyone have any experience with these? Do you think it would do any good to buy one and give it a try or would I be better off taking the car to a specialist? The car is beyond the 36 mo. bumper to bumper warranty so I’m not inclined to take it to a dealer. My experience in the past has told me the dealer just removes the unit and sends it somewhere leaving a hole in the dash until it gets back 6 weeks later.
Is there anyone in the area that I can trust to remove it and do quality repair work on the unit?
