I have a 2 year old Alpine unit and have taken off the casing.Is there an easy way to get the white lugs apart which seem to part to allow the disc to be released??

I had a CD stuck in my Volvo changer a few weeks ago. No reset-button on the changer sadly.
When I changed my battery I tried to eject the cd-rack once more. And guess what: the cd-rack came out!! I noticed that 1 CD was missing, so I removed the 5 CD's that were inside, re-inserted the cd-rack, it made a lot of clickerdyclick sounds and travelled passed all positions (1 to 6). When I ejected the cd-rack again the missing disc was inside!
My guess is that my cd-changer didn't have enough juice to put the CD in the rack before ejecting, jamming everything. And that somehow the new battery provided enough juice to do this.

taker the case off
Hiya Groom take the covers off carfully (watch makers screwdrivers needed) and you should be able to manually turn the electric motor with a corkscrew gear , turn this by hand(with small screwdriver) which will take quite a while about 30 to 40 turns etc then it will spit out the CD very very slowly, this also works on motor fed tape players.

Worked a treat when my 48k ZX Specturm was faulty, oddly I never had a problem with it after I ripped the cover off and threw it about a few times!volvo-bigbrother wrote:Yank it out and smash it up
More seriously, I had to take apart a kenwood 3+1 MD changer because the discs got stuck in it. They come apart easilly enough, but it took me 45 minutes to get one disc out. The other I eventually gave up on as it's only a copy anyhow. I'd imagine a CD player would be far easier given that none of the loading mech for the changer would be present. Don't throw it before having a go, you've nothing to loose.

although i dont know your unit, there is an industry standard which states that cd players must have an emergency eject mechanism! this is usually a small hole about 1mm or less around the opening that you put the cd intoyou will need a piece of wire (or a paperclip) at least 2 inches long and the cd will come out!
