CD drawer will not open

1. Uh, I think you already have a solution but the following may help someone else.
2. Ensure that the device is powered on.
3. Press the "Function" button (28/58) to set the unit to CD mode.
4. Press the "Open/Close" button (19/48) to open the CD drawer.
5. Insert a CD into the tray with the label side facing up.
6. Press the "Open/Close" button again to close the CD drawer.

If the above steps don't work, you can try the following:

1. Unplug the device from the power outlet.
2. Wait for a few minutes.
3. Plug the device back in.
4. Press the "Open/Close" button to see if the CD drawer opens.

If the drawer still doesn't open, there might be a mechanical issue with the device. Look for the Fixya advise referred to above. If if that doesn't work, in that case, it's best to contact Crosley's customer support for further assistance.

cd drawers often jam.
In the cd/dvd drawer you will see a small hole. Use a blunt pin or a straightened-out paper clip, insert it into the small hole and gently press. The drawer should then click open.

Try cleaning the plastic drive teeth/mechanism with a light drop of oil. Press the drawer button and it should then close. Press it again to see if the drawer opens as per normal.

If your cd drive plays a dvd as per normal but doesn't open when the button is pressed, continue using a blunt pin/paperclip. If the plastic open-close mechanism is worn or damaged there's very little you can do about it expect replace the entire drive.

Sometimes DVD player drawers get stuck closed because the disc inside isn't seated properly. At other times the player may have another problem. The first step in discovering if it is the disc or another issue is to remove the disc. Most DVD players have a secret eject button. It allows you to open the drawer when a disc gets stuck and cannot be ejected normally.
For this you'll need a standard size paperclip.

1. Unfold the paperclip and make it as straight as possible.
2. Look closely at your DVD player . Push the tip the paper clip into the small hole on the tray cover on the front of the Toshiba. The hole is on the right side of the cover.
3. Press inward gently with the paperclip until you feel a slight resistance, then continue pushing to engage the internal eject button. The tray should pop open partway.
4. Gently pull the drawer until it's fully retracted. Be careful not to pull too far.
5. Remove your disc from the drive.
6. Before you reinsert another disc, use the remote and/or buttons on the player to close the door, and reopen it. You can also press carefully with your fingers. If you cannot open/close the drawer normally at this point, do not put in a new disc until you have repaired the problem.

What You Need

The CD drive has a pinhole on the door/drawer. It should be located close to the button you press to open the drive. Straighten a paper clip and insert it in the pinhole, pressing gently. The drive should open, releasing the CD.

te same thing happened to me know i juat turn the stereo off to where the red light is blinking then turn it back on after the standby message disappears and then i quickly pree the eject button......tr it! and let me know!

You may force eject the CD tray by inserting a paper clip inside the small slot or you may force restart your computer by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.

look at the drawer is there a small hole on it? if so use a paper clip on that hole to eject the tray.

try unpluging it for few minutes and try again.

1. If the keyboard has a CD/DVD Eject key, press it. The Eject key is usually placed by the volume knob and is marked by a triangle pointing up with a line underneath.
2. Double-click My Computer .
3. Right-click the icon for the CD, CDRW, or DVD drive that is stuck, and then click Eject.
4. If the CD or DVD drive door button is a long clear plastic bar on the front of the PC, press firmly on the right side of bar. Some models have a button on the front panel of the PC to the right of the hinged door. Press the button to eject the drive.
5. If the drive door button is part of the PC case and is covering the actual drive door, open the door that is part of the PC case and press the Eject button on the faceplate of the drive.
6. Restart the PC and press the Eject button on the front of the drive when the first screen appears (before Windows launches). If the drive door opens this way but does not open in Windows, another software program is taking control of the CD driver. Try shutting down or configuring any software programs that create discs or monitor the CD or DVD drive.
7. If the door still does not open, do the following:
   1. Close all programs and shut down the PC.
   2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
   3. Look for the small hole on the faceplate of the CD or DVD drive. This is the manual release. The location of the manual release hole will vary

1. Straighten the paperclip and insert it into the manual release hole until resistance is felt.
2. Once the resistance is felt, keep pushing the paper clip until the drawer opens a little.
3. Remove the paper clip and gently pull out the drawer until the disc is accessible.
4. Remove the CD and turn on the PC.

If the tray still does not open, do the following steps to check the power cable for the drive. Work on a hard flat surface over a non-carpeted floor:

1. Turn off the PC.
2. Unplug all power cords from the back of the PC.
3. Press and release the Power button on the front of the computer.
4. Remove the side panel.

1. Unplug the power cable and wait five seconds.
2. Find a different power cable that is not being used, plug the different power cable into the back of the drive, making sure that it fits firmly into the socket. If a different power cable is not available, replug the original power cable into the back of the drive, making sure that it fits firmly into the socket.
3. Replace the side panel and plug in the power cord.

1. Turn on the PC and press the eject button on the front of the drive.

If the optical drive does not have the manual eject feature and the CD tray will not open by using the steps in this document or if a disc has shattered inside the drive, the CD, CDRW, DVD drive may need to be replaced.
