If your Pioneer PD-F957 CD player is experiencing issues where the disc attempts to spin but stops and eventually unloads, along with a dark display, there could be several potential causes for this problem. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Clean the disc and laser lens: Ensure that the disc you are loading is clean and free from any dirt, scratches, or fingerprints. Additionally, use a CD lens cleaning kit or a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the laser lens inside the CD player. A dirty lens can cause read errors and prevent proper disc playback.
Check for mechanical obstructions: Inspect the CD player's loading mechanism and internal components for any physical obstructions or debris that may be interfering with the proper operation. Remove any foreign objects carefully, if present.
Reset the CD player: Perform a power reset by turning off the CD player, unplugging it from the power source, and waiting for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and power it on again. This reset can help clear any temporary glitches or errors.
Check for firmware updates: Visit the Pioneer website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your specific model. Firmware updates can address software-related issues and improve the overall performance of the CD player.
Perform a factory reset: If possible, consult the user manual of your Pioneer PD-F957 to find instructions on how to perform a factory reset. This will restore the CD player to its original settings, which may help resolve any configuration-related issues.
