If you burn the firmware onto DVD, you may have more success. It is possible that the CD Laser in the drive is dead or mis-aligned. Other than the bad disc issue, this can be the other reason for locked-out MK4's.

I too had a stuck CD many moons ago. Actually it was a CD-RW and was faulty. The procedure Galaxy quotes is correct - wait for the cd to stop, release and then quickly press the eject button again. Be quick to grab the CD when it pops out though as they sometimes go straight back in

thanks for all the advice, still haven't had the time, or weather to try doing it tho, is there an amount of time where the dvd unit will lose all settings and memory if left long enough?

Thanks
Peter

hi mate, dont know anyone who has left it like that. you have the solution- so fix it!

you could've probably done it in the time that you posted this message!!
you'll kick yourself if it doesn't recover because you left it too long.
