How can I fix my Panasonic RX-DS45 CD player?

When I insert a CD into my Panasonic RX-DS45 portable stereo CD system and press "CD" and the forward button, it does not play, just makes a tired mechanical sound as if it is trying to operate. The display says "CD 1" but no matter what other button I push nothing else appears or happens. When I open the CD cover the CD is spinning slowly, but it doesn't seem to fit as snugly on the metal spindle.
I'm afraid it has had an accident; it was working fine before the cleaning crew came through. Is there any hope for fixing it?
