CD won't eject

The other solution is:

I hate to say it, but Riff Raff is sort of right. Give the player a good tap and power it up again. It *might* work. It worked for me, at least.

Once the CD is ejected, eject the rest of the player. Start looking, now, for a cubby hole to replace it.

In general, these seem to mean that the elevator was unable to position a disk for playing. The plastic screwjacks that move the mechanism seem to wear out and eventually, the player will be unable to switch disks. If you begin to have problems, consider ejecting all your disks immediatly.

You might have luck with pushing EJECT while thumping the player on the right-hand side. No kidding.

Once you have extracted all your disks, the player may still work, so long as you avoid changing disks. The best recommendation is to change to an aftermarket stereo.

If you are completely unable to eject your CDs, you may still be able to extract them by taking the changer apart.
