Old problem revisited
« on: 15 August 2011, 00:27:51 »

I've still got the same 5 CDs stuck in my autochanger thingy.  The magazine won't eject.  No-one had a solution to this last time I asked, so I was just wondering if any newcomers may have an idea, or if any of the old-timers have now thought up a solution. :) :) :)

Couldn't see anything obviously wrong, and, tbh, couldn't see how to take it apart (without using a big hammer) once I'd got the outer casing off. 

It would be easier, I suspect, if I had a 12v power source available once I've got it out of the car and onto the kitchen table.  Might try it with 2 big 6v torch batteries taped together and connected with some crocodile clips.  I've got that set up somewhere in my office, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I needed it for. :(

mine used to be the same..

id just keep pressing and pressing eject, could take 50 goes, but came out eventually.
sometimes id remove its power as well, leave for a bit, then plug in and try again.

Somebody on here suggested turning the unit on with the eject button constantly pressed before, during and after.  It did the trick for me, but only after several attempts. 

That was for my CCR2006.  Don't know what model yours is but mine would definitely have a little soapy if it had 5 CDs loaded. 

Best of luck!

Have you got a 12v battery charger ?
