This past Sunday, I finally had enough of my CD player not working. Previously, I tried the battery misconnect, the fuses, etc., but nothing was working.



I pulled the whole unit out of the dash, separated the CD player from the harness, and pretty much disassembled the CD player itself.



Wound up being the #3 disk was stuck in the middle of a change. Used two skinny wooden skewers - one to keep the CD door propped open, and the second, to push the CD from behind out the door.



Shot some air on the unit, reassembled, and it's working great again.



For those who may be experiencing the same problem, and the batt/fuse things didn't reset it, I say go for the '2-skewer' solution. Took about 2.5 hours, and I was taking my time.
 
Good deal! Was the one that stuck, a burned one with a paper label? Our HU's dont like paper labels. or even some of the burner disc that are thick can get stuck...
