SANYO FXCD-500 has CD Stuck inside player. Radio & Cassette Still Work. It is Still in Dash of my Toyota 4x4 Pickup. Besides taking unit out of Dash??? Any Suggestions??

SOURCE: CD stuck in CD player. Cassette and radio works good. But CD stuck.

This symptom is often a sign the player is nearing its end of useful life. But, sometimes it is merely due to a collection of dust, dirt or a foreign object lodged in the mechanism. Sometimes it is a logic error inside the electronic memories.

So, there are a number of possibilities.

Here is what I would do:

ONE: Do NOT force it or use tools to pull the disc out.
TWO: If you can find the wires that supply the 12 volts to the unit, pull that wire so there is no power to the unit whatsoever for at least 30 seconds. That will reset the electronics inside the player.
THREE: IF you cannot find the wires, or if they are too hard to get to, you can pull the plus cable off the battery; raise the hood and with a wrench loosen the bolt holding the plus cable onto the battery terminal. Pull it off for at least 30 seconds or longer, then put it back on. This will perform a hard reset as in TWO.
FOUR: If still no removal try this technique:

If it is not an expensive unit you may find it a superior investment to purchase a new player rather than pay a tech to repair it. (In the worst case the unit must be pulled, cover removed and disc manually removed; then you may find out there are damages or defective circuits awaiting further repairs; probably looking at a charge of $75 or more if you go to a service shop).

Let's hope the ideas above kick it out and it returns to normal useage.

If I unplug all the wires from the CD player won't the security system lock up my stereo system? Which means that I have to go to a dealer to get the code from them.

SOURCE: My CD won't eject from my car radio.

theres a rubber belt that works with the eject function. you must remove the radio from car, usually there 2 screws that keeps the cover in place, then theres 4 screws that holds the cd unit in place , be care full on some of the models there is a flex cable under the unit that you need to remove very care full the belt should sit on the side of the unit replace this belt. It also sounds like your lens is dirty try to move the lens in a position so it can be reached with a ear cleaner, "cotton on a stick" use Methylated Spirits or isoponyl clean gently...You can get the isoponyl from pharmacy. Hope this help

sometime you can get luck by taking out the tape player and there will be a small hole somewhere on the player that you can stick a paper clip through to release the tape player. Otherwise gnetly stick a screwdriver under the tape to see if you can get it to release. no guarntees on that last one
