why did my cd player run my car battery down?

if it was not installed as a controllable accesory and wired directly to the battery/fuse box, leaving it on with the car shut off will drain the battery.

Back when CD players were new technology, it became a status symbol to hang a CD from your rearview mirror.  It indicated that you were "fresh" and had spent a bunch of money aquiring this new gadget.  Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but these are the kinds of people that spend 30k tricking out a Camry worth $500.

This is a common problem with people that "push" the CD drawer shut with their hand in stead of closing it with the button or via the computer. This causes a so called "over run" on the gear train. You can try the little hole to release the drawer or you may have to take it out, take the top off and re-seat the basket on the gear train.

unless you've made changes to your system lately (i.e. reformatting, installed new software, etc.) it is probably a hardware failure and needs to be replaced.  You can see what device manger tells you about the status.  Right click on my computer, select manage, select, device manager, browse to your cd drive and see what it says about the device properties.

It could be both, but the last two times that it has happen to my department at work, all I did was change out the cd unit.  One thing that you may want to do if you can not get a new cd unit at this time is trying to download the driver for it again.  Sometimes that is a fix.  I know a few years ago these type of problems use to happen when there was a virus, but the hackers and people who spread these virus around are not trying to get more of your data and cause more of an overall computer problem, than just a cd opening and closing.  Hope this helps.

Ok, let's start with the thing it isn't.  It is NOT the battery.  Although that is not to say the battery isn't also bad.  Chances are your A/C Adapter has gone bad and/or the connector inside the laptop(known as the D/C plug) has also gone bad.\n\nYour best bet is to find a local notebook repair shop that can take a look at it and give you a free(or relatively cheap) estimate.  The problem with your description is that there is one major component you've left out...\n\nSoftware.  You'd be surprised, but your o/s could be infected and could actually cause immediate shut-downs.  The question I'd ask is whether or not it shuts down or just IMMEDIATELY shuts off, there is a HUGE difference.  If it shuts down and not off, then it's the o/s and/or software and I HIGHLY recommend taking it into the Geek Squad to have them take a look at it.\n\nIf you have any more information for me I might be able to better evaluate the situation and give you a better answer.  For now, get it looked at by a professional.\n\n-Geek Squad Double Agent...

you may have burned it to a cr-rw instead of a cd-r or you may have copied the files directly to a cd instead of using windows media player or itunes to burn a music cd

batteries have an electrolyte solution inside them;  when they get old this solution gets depleted of charge carriers, but i suspect you can recharge them by shaking them all around, thus mixing up the electrolyte and getting a bit more juice out.\n\nalso possible is that when you hold them in your hand when you take them out, the batteries warm up.  this warming means the ions in solution move faster, and therefore have longer diffusion lengths, so you can eke a few more minutes of game time out of them that way.  this effect (in reverse) is also responsible for your car not starting on very cold mornings.

Low battery, you need to recharge it.

Also, before You remove the Battery, get a "Memory Kit" which cosists of a Cigarette Lighter Plug hooked to a New 9 Volt Transistor Radio Style Battery, and plug it into Your Lighter Socket. This will only Work if Your Socket is Powered all the Time, and is not Activated by the Key, because if It is, it'll kill the 9volts Quick.Also' switch off Your Interior Light. By having Power to the Lighter Socket, You keep all the Memory Pre-Sets on Your Radio,Clock, and Your Engine Control Module.And, if You should accidentally Short the + Battery Cable to Ground, it won't be a big deal, with only 9 Volts.If You had a Strong 12 Volts going into the Lighter Socket, then You might burn up some wiring, or at the very least, pop a Fuse.

No if your trying to play music in a cd player like a car radio, you can "ONLY" use CD-R cd's and they must be closed (e.g. end the session)  And you must burn your music to the cd in .WAV format\n\nOnce you burn you .WAV files to the cd the burning software will close the session and turn the files so to a car radio it looks like .CDA files whats normally found on a store bought cd.

It should not have been the fault of the MP3 player.\n\nThe flash style MP3 players like the Sandisk have a very low power consumption.  So even if your player was drawing its power from the USB port, it shouldn't have been enough to overload it.\n\nMost flash style MP3 players draw their power from their batteries when connected to the PC.  Unless the device is rechargeable when connected to the PC.  Rechargeable MP3 players like the IPod does draw power from the USB port, but not enough current to risk any damage.\n\nIf you are concerned about drawing too much power from your USB port, connect a powered USB 2.0 hub to your USB port then connect your USB devices to the USB hub.  The devices will draw any necessary power from the USB hub instead of the motherboard.\n\nIt is more likely some other event caused your PC motherboard to fail.

Mine does something similar and it's the cd drive vibrating because of a poor 'fit' in the housing.  It stops if I press on the drive, as if I'm shutting it tighter, but once I take my hand off, it sounds like it's ready to take off.

Ive seen that happen with cd's which are badly scratched & also when the cd head is dirty in which case you need to clean it soon before it gets too damaged to clean.\n\nIf its data files like mp3's which are skipping, then I cant explain the skipping backwords & forwards other than the files are corrupted in which case it still makes no sense to me.

Have you tried running a Cleaning CD through your drive - it looks like an ordinary CD with a spiral of tiny brushes on it, some have music tracks to make it play for a few seconds, if it hasn't simply inserting it a couple of times will do the trick.
