As a matter of what could be called 'statistical encouragement', cleaning has fixed every CD player/CD drive displaying those sorts of symptoms that I have encountered thus far. I would say I have 'repaired' more than 10 CD devices this way.

Ever frugal, I have even been able to scavenge a number of nice but failing CD/CDRW drives from work that were destined for the trash, simply clean them, and give them a 'good home' in my various PCs.
Also got a nice multi-disk home unit this way from a friend.

People generally do not want to be bothered even with simple maintenance such as this on any electronics. Disposable society.

I used to get VCRs like that all the time. These had even worse cleaning issues.
I'm not exactly old, but I do remember visits from the TV repair man. Imagine that today...

Hope it works for you.
