CD Cartridge stuck inside the changer

[Smokeoc68]

My CD cartridge is stuck inside the CD changer. When you look inside the changer the individual disk holder is stuck half way between the cartridge and the changer. When i hit the eject the gear moves but the holder doesnt slide. I have disconnected the power and tried to reset it but still nothing. This has happened before and it took about 3 weeks for it to rest it self. Has anyone ever had this problem if so what did you do?

Thanks

I just had mine replaced...the best method I found was to tap it REALLY hard (i.e. HIT IT!)

ditto....a good couple of barvarian bangs on the unit.

Either the banging on the unit or taking it apart with a screwdriver and manually releasing the cd

Say "Achtung" and hit it, used to work on mein! If it does not work just keep hitting it and saying "nein" until you get it out then exclaim "Sweinhunt".
