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.

1> Bang on side while pressing eject and Cd slot buttons.
2> Alternatively turn ignition on and off while doing #1
3> Remove player from holder, turn it upside down.. still connected to power bang a bit and press eject numerous times.

These are the ways I was able to conquer the err 3 on my player.

Then you replaced it, right?

No, still have my original. Long story but the last time it happened where I really thought the thing was dead was when I turned the player upside down and pressed the eject. Out popped the CD.

Mind you, I banged on the thing on every side without luck until I turned it over and pressed the button.

The player works fine now.

wow, maybe you need to write up a 'how to' for those that still have the thing
