2000 Sunfire CD Player Blues

Hey Guys:

My daughter's 2000 Sunfire CD player's got the blues.  I won't play a great
deal of the time.  Doesn't recognize a CD in player.  These are produced
CD's - not burnt ones done at home.  Other times it will play them fine.
Same CD.

We've run a "CD Cleaner" (yeah, right...) through it a few times to no
avail.  My left brain says it's got to be a dust issue, but I'm wondering if
anyone has played around with cleaning players in a way better than the
cleaner CD's.

Or perhaps... other suggestions?

Thx,

Signature

I'd just find a nice aftermarket deck with a removable face to install, the
factory CD players are expensive to replace from the dealership, and if you
buy a recycled one, the same problem will just pop up again.

You could get a factory CD player off of Ebay pretty cheap.  Maybe $60
to $70, cheaper than an aftermarket one, plus installation will be super
easy -- couple of screws, and then plugging in a harness and an antenna
jack.  GM usually puts the same audio equipment in about 20 different
cars across their model lines, so finding one should be a snap.  Chances
are that the factory CD player you replace it with will last for years.  
Hers may just be a dud.  That happens a lot with electronics -- usually
5% or so are duds.

   Ditto on excellent info from JD.  I'd like to add, that for a few bucks
more, you can buy a used factory cd which also has MP3 playing capabilities.
   I bought one on Ebay, by comparing the wire-plug-in receptacles and
mounting brackets on the Pontiac radio(of some model: may have been a
2000?Grand Am?) with my 2003 GMC Sonoma (like a Chevy S10).  Bolted right
in, hooked right up to my wiring, and looks stock to me and to a thief
trying to steal after-market sounds.   Cost including shipping was like $91.
  One of my MP3 discs, burned on my home computer, has like 271 songs on
it!  So, who needs a changer?  Just waiting to get one that plays
DVD's--2500+ songs on one d/l disc!
   Luck to you & HTH.  s
