The gods of the extended warranty must of had your number.

Yes. The belt may have come off, worn out, or broke. There may
also be some type dirt or debris in the player, or a lubricant that
has dried up. Try popping it open and see what you find. Just be
careful not have it plugged in while you are inside of it.

It's unlikely to even have any belt in the cd mechanism. If it does, it's
only for tray loading. Much more likely a cleaning problem, or an actual
failure, such as a bad laser or spindle motor.

And no, cleaning discs don't work, it needs a proper cleaning.
