CD changer problem

The CD carrier is not ejecting from my CD player, the CDs still play but I can't change them!

Looks like I'll have to take the player out and explore. Has anyone had similar problems and found a fix?

Sorry cant help on this one Mike .Perhaps a wee Tv shop would help out.They do VCRs DVD etc.

I had a friend who had a wee TV shop in Muirhead who could have fixed it BUT unfortunately he passed on a couple of years ago.The BIG YIN must have needed a good TV engineer.Our loss.

yeah, both my players were like that....it's clumsy people forcing the magazine in and bending the return spring - easy fix if you can be bothered to take it apart

Niall,
I suppose the clumsy person must be me - I've had the car for 6 years!
I've taken the CD player apart but the cassette seems to be firmly held in place and not just against a spring. It's also pretty complex and difficult get at, I guess this is where I try to find a decent car radio specialist, the guy who sorted me out with the Sony cartridge and serviced it when it was new has gone out of business.
Mike

hmmm....you're testing my memory with this one - i guess there must be a clip holding the cartridge in that you need to release to get the cart out. Not sure if this was the same problem i had or not but if you get stuck i'll happily take a look if you can be bothered sending it to me!

Niall,
Thanks for the offer, it would be a bu**er to photograph because it's right indide the changer, I've found my local radio dealer has moved so I'll try him today.
Thanks again
Mike

I had a problem with my changer a while back. The disc magazine would go in and come out ok but the discs would not load and play.

I got annoyed and gave it a good thump with my fist and it has been fine ever since. The headunit is now playing up though for another reason..
