Firstly it keeps refusing to open unless I manically press the button or
stick a paper clip in the little hole. Doesn't happen every time but enough
to get on my wick.

Secondly, when I am playing a music CD there seems to be a regular
popping sort of noise coming out the speakers. Hopefully it just
needs a clean but coupled with the other problem I'm wondering if there
isn't something loose/out of alignment inside.

Is this a chuck it and get a new one problem or is it fixable??
(Unfortunately don't have a receipt and can't remember when/where I bought
it either!!)

Cheers
Jay
 
The noise problem is most likely related to dirty laser lenses and could be
fixed using a cleaning CD.
The opening problem on the other hand is most likely related to skipping
gears and might not be fixable.
