Hi,

Ive today noticed that when I try and use the CD player I get the message no CDs. However the CD cartridge in the player and has CDs in it. I tried to eject the cartidge but it doesnt want to eject. Any ideas how I can eject it manually if possible?

Thanks in advance

Its a long shot but try to give it a little hit with your hand after you press the eject button.

Will give that a go. Its also difficult to tell if there is power to the unit as i cant see any light on it unlike that satnav which has an led on the front

Gave that ago but to no avail. Any more ideas? It seems to me as there is no power to it. The message on the unit is 'no disc'

I saw a tech remove a stuck cartridge by using a credit card. Just push the card under the lower edge of the cartridge on the left (or was it right) side. It should pop out. See if that will do it.

I have had the same problem. when i used to press the eject button i could hear things moving but the cartridge would not come out. i just left it for a while and eventually it decided to pop out.
it normally plays the tracks on cd 1 then when you try to go to 2 it comes up with no disc.
I would like to know how to sort it out myself but hav'nt worked out what the problem is yet.

Ive had no joy with this and the cartridge still seems stuck. To be honest when i press the green eject button I cant hear anything at all so not sure if the unit is actually getting any power. I have removed the unit and was wondering how to test to see if the unit is being powered as it might not be a stuck cartridge but a power problem

Thanks in advance

I haven't looked yet, but most cartridge type electrical devices have a small hole you can push something into (like paperclip) to manually eject in the event of a power loss.
