Post by: theomen on November 01, 2003, 11:10:38 PM: Are you getting power to it?
Title: Car audio nerds
Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 01, 2003, 11:27:56 PM: yeah, im getting power to it, i can hear its trying to eject it, but it wont budge. I would say a CD has become stuck when it was trying to change CD\'s.

I think you\'re player is a trying to tell you to lay off the Mariah Carey CD. ;)

Post by: SER on November 03, 2003, 12:58:36 AM: Just get another one on Ebay... I bought my Kenwood a few years ago, it does the job but it\'s pretty ancient.

Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 03, 2003, 03:13:30 AM: The one I have is like worth $900.00. I don\'t think so.
Title: Car audio nerds
Post by: SER on November 03, 2003, 05:30:45 AM: wtf? Did it come with a screen for DVD and a 12 disc changer? I wouldn\'t pay $900 for something that didn\'t have that.... lol

Post by: Living-In-Clip on November 03, 2003, 06:32:56 AM: You got the instruction manual? I almost gurantee there is something in there that explains what to do in this situation. Almost every cd player / cd changer has a manual / force eject. If nothing else , you could probably look at it, take apart the casing the casing and find out what the problem is.

Basically, be a man, do it the manly way. Get some tools and tear the damn thing up, you pansy.

So, my advice worked? Be a man about things. Don\'t be a f**kin\' pansy who has to hire people for such trivial manual jobs.
