OR, pay a tech to check ,
OR, a friend from assembly group,
OR, an acquaintance ....
OR, a support group for "tragedies with machines" :)
i'm not gonna pay a tech to do anything LOL!

Does sound like a common kind of problem?

VERY common. Saw such machines at yard sales, thrift stores, etc etc (used sales many places),
such that
the radio still worked, but the electric eye or laser or whatever had already stopped (planned that way, and/or the weakest piece) ....

A few manufacturers make, or used to make, good solid products that would not fail so soon.

IMO, better than a disk-based lens cleaner is manually cleaning the lens with a spot of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, with the machine OFF and UNPLUGGED. Let it dry thoroughly before turning back on. If that doesn't work it's probably the circuitry dedicated to CDs.

BEcause it has different mechanisms and different circuits and different sensors and different software/ programming for
DVD's than for CD's, etc ....

There are different possible answers. (1) The disc could be dirty and needs cleaning with a dry cloth. (2) The disc is flawed and simply will not play. Perhaps it is scratched? (3) The disc is set for a different region of the world, though usually when that happens the machine will tell you that such is the problem.

I believe that CDs, DVDs and BlueRays all use different color of lasers. Perhaps the CD laser died.

... ... ... okay, we are all learning not to neglect anything daily ....

first of all pray, constantly, daily, before anything else, ... ...
... wait, I just realized you posted that....
(you pray over the electronic devices you use ? ) ...
I was first thinking of "as soon as a need arises, pray and bring it to the throne of grace IN HEAVEN, yes, Yahuweh the Creator's Throne, TO RECEIVE HELP <at once> IN TIME OF NEED.... "

and then some more ... encouraging, uplifting, re God's Care.... Daily, Perfect ....

Ephesians 6:18
Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Timothy 5:5
The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.

Yes i pray over all of my electrical devices, including my computer and phone, and my dwelling, etc. Although i didn't pray over this DVD/CD player (it's relatively "new to me", but is pre-owned).
