Both problems are probably due to function motor drive belt failure. Here is the<br />
text of a web page detailing replacement of this belt. If you have web access,<br />
the site below has photos to accompany the text.<br />

Function Motor Drive Belt Replacement<br />
These instructions are for replacing the function motor drive belt on RCA's J<br />
and K series electric-loading <strong>CED</strong> players. Failure<br />
of this drive belt is the single most common reason why these players fail to<br />
operate. The function motor drive belt transfers the<br />
torque to load and unload the disc, so when it first begins to fail the player<br />
may eject caddies without unloading the disc, since<br />
the caddy wasn't drawn far enough inside to reach the latching mechanism. This<br />
drive belt also provides the torque necessary to<br />
rotate the function gear assembly to the various positions corresponding to<br />
Load, Play, Unload, and Off. So if the player, when<br />
turned on, takes a long time to enter Load mode where the access door is open<br />
and the LED display flashes L, then the belt is<br />
beginning to fail. It is not uncommon for a player that has been stored for a<br />
long time to never enter Load mode when turned on<br />
because the drive belt has completely failed and all the function motor can do<br />
is endlessly spin. All J and K series players use<br />
the same function belt, RCA Stock No. 157592, which corresponds to the more<br />
readily available PRB No. SCB3.6. If you<br />
have difficulty finding this belt, you can mail me a dollar to the address at<br />
the bottom of this document, and I'll send you one.<br />
(1) To begin installation, remove the two philips screws from the back of the<br />
cabinet top and remove the top by lifting from the<br />
back. Locate the function motor gear train in the left rear of the player as<br />
shown in figure 1.<br />
(2) The function motor gear train is partially concealed by a small black cover<br />
held in place by two philips screws corresponding
