CD stuck in CD changer

Sep 21, 2005 6:34AM PDT

I ejected a CD from my CD changer and it didn't eject all the way. I can see the disc but can't seem to reach it. I tried tweesers and they were too big. If I hit eject or load or more to another disc, it says CD error. Any suggestions besides taking it in? THANK YOU!

I had to take my player apart one time.

I'm a bit fearless given the low prices of most players. Tip: Unplug it from the AC supply before you dive in.

Take it apart

Unplug the unit, just as the other post says, and unscrew the outer case. You should be able to dislodge the disc. Put it all back together, try another disc, if it does it again, then it's time for either a service call or new unit.
