How To Fix A Car CD Player That Won't Load Or Eject Discs

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

2005 Mercedes c230... 4 th head unit ejects CDs. Other 3, did not. Lots of KZbin vids on getting a stuck CD out, but you told us how to Fix the player. Bravo.

[@mrhobs]

Finally someone addressing the REAL problem instead of just cleaning it lol. (Still a bit intimidating without any guide for disassembling it, but the temptation of having a working CD player again is strong enough to push me to try this… also not sure how you got the glue under the rubber… didn’t really show how you did anything, sorry for the criticism… overall I still appreciated the video, gives me confidence that it can be done.

[@mrhobs]

I guess you talk about it at the end, so that’s pretty much good enough. Cheers!

I Have a 2010 Mazda 3. the stereo wouldn't read the CD. I knew it should be a dirty lens but the repair guy said it's the motor and you need to change it. today I got some spare time and took it out, disassembled some parts and cleaned the lens. it was really dirty. it is working just fine now. for the assembly you just need to be very careful. I have to do it twice to make everything work properly. I'm happy I didn't have to pay for the motor change.

As it turns out this is the exact disk player I was looking to fix and the video couldn't have been more helpful... Reinstalled the CD player this morning and it works perfectly thanks to your video.

[@raybrettman9618]

Thank you for your patient and exacting reply to a question I have right now. But this lets me know.....way beyond my capabilities. And requires a syringe. I guess they might be available for diabetics at the pharmacy, not sure. Quite confident I would be a fail at even removing the thing in the first place, I have looked at the thing, I presume its doable, but looking at it I would not know how. Break out the wallet time. But thank you for real.

[@jedturner9173]

thanks brother , God bless

[@jameskrivitsky9715]

Thanks for the video. My player in a 2005 Chevy Enduramax has the slipping rubber roller on a metal shaft. I also noticed that the plastic gear on one end of the metal drive rod was spinning....lost adhesion. Glad your contact cement / syringe procedure worked. Has it held up over the recent years ?

[@fiddlingcrow]

love your choice of cd at the end!

[@bobschindel8490]

fiddlingcrow ...me too

Nicely put together presentation. Thanks

I have never put a CD into my CD player so far Volvo S40, I have a little device, I bought for €20 it goes into your cigarette lighter it's about 4 inches in length, it has a port for charging your phone at the side of it , on the top it has a button saying answer or hang up phone calls, but it also has a display and you can put it to any digit you want in reference like radio station saying 87.26 then go to your stereo pick a button you don't usually press, copy the numbers to your radio you might have to go to fine tune then when this is done , go to your phone press Bluetooth it will pop up and then you will see pairing with car device , when it's done and you can play any song that you can find in the world from KZbin or iTunes, or stuff that you have stored on it SD card, and you can answer phone calls you can use the phone to push except the call or you can use the little device the Bolton I said talked about earlier €20 instead of all this parts, Wires going all over the place taking your car all apart with this you just stick in your cigarette lighter end of story, boom.lol.

[@orszagpeter7605]

Nice story bro, but this topic is about how to fix a broken cd player. The fm transmitter you are talking about is not rocket science and not something from the future. Thats a very old stuff. And you never ever can get high quality sound from a fm transmitter.

[@BillCarrIpswich]

My Ford CD player looks the same - the problem with mine was it wouldn't read discs and just ejected them. Turns out that white plastic disc that gets pressed down on the cd was worn and wasn't spinning freely. It had worn through on the sharp pressed metal sheets that it bears against. Hope i can get a replacement...

[@3GreeneBJ]

I'm a retired electronics engineer but I cannot fix this Roberts MP Sound 43 Radio/CD drive. SOMETIMES the eject roller fails to run. It seems to sense the disc as it is presented and the radio, (if playing ), switches off. However it fails to take the disc in. Conversely it will sometimes fail to eject. There is no discernible way to get it back to working correctly even dismantling to clean. Tapping around yields nothing loose. At first I suspected the motor. brushes. However it reads consistently even when the fault is present. (10R dc). You can't provoke any action by turning the mechanism by hand. Looked for maker. Looked for schematic. Cannot find or ID it beyond Roberts. Sometimes a complete power down restores the operation but not consistently. Its really hard to get apart and reassemble and I want some inspiration before I do that again. Can you help at all? {BTW it came in with no power. Replaced o/c SMPSU 620K start up resistor and power is now correct at 10.5V} Sincerely BerryG

Thanks

[@garymccormick9521]

Julio - I implemented your fix for CD "non-ejection" in my Mazda6 - thanks so much for that video. HOWEVER, when I was reassembling the entire unit, I inadvertently pulled the ribbon cable out of the radio end, and do not know EXACTLY where to reconnect the CD ribbon cable to the radio "motherboard".Might you have taken any photos of the inside of the radio when you had the unit disassembled,, that shows the ribbon cable. My Mazda dealer has been no help in securing this information. Gary McCormick Carlisle, PA

[@peteabdu9179]

Awesome video, was very helpful for me! I fixed what was wrong with my 6 CD changing stero but after putting it back together it looks some parts are out of sync as if some motors need to be in a certain starting position when it's first powered on. Was careful dissembling my 6 CD changer but it's still not happy. Any suggestions?

[@mrhobs]

Aw man, I feel your pain… hope you can figure out a solution. Keep trying stuff, sorry I can’t help.

[@albertwesker2283]

I have a 2002 Lincoln ls. Just started getting the cd error message. It won’t eject cds or do anything. I’m afraid the CD player is shot or locked up and it has the 6 disc changer so it will be a nightmare to get my cds out

[@malice6081]

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra that when you try to put in a CD it's makes a weird noise and can't even grab the disk.

[@valhalla8140]

Thank you

[@bobschindel8490]

Val Halla very well done!

[@lmofficial3269]

[@norislamaidate2423]

[@DANPOLO1]

What would you charge to do this on a 2007 Kia Sedona stereo? I can mail it

[@mrhobs]

Contact cement huh? I wonder what kinds of glue will work in case I can’t find that…

[@bertotaker]

I had a mazda 5 and as soon as i insert a cd it kept like reading until the check cd message came ... what can i do?

[@cisco20115254]

I was playing Bob Dylan when my cd player took a dump

[@mohanathawale8956]

The cd is not going in

[@homie-da-clown7520]

How is that a "real simple fix" I'd rather hire 3 guys that sing, play the guitar and the play drums in order to make new music than to do what this video asks.

[@cancel1913]

My problem is that it takes the CD in but will spit it back out.

[@cancel1913]

I took it apart and observed the action when plugged back in with the top off and the device internals reject it even without trying to read it. All the small capacitors look good.

[@joannp5806]

Cancel19 I have 2011 Toyota Corolla, don't know if this advice will help,but my CD player kept flashing CD IN,but there was no CD in player, it wouldn't let me incert another CD thou, I tried holding eject button for about 40 seconds, but that didn't help,so I had a small thin piece of plastic,I inserted it into CD player a few inches, very light pressed down, and for some reason,that turned off the stuck CD in light,and now it's working great.

[@cancel1913]

@@joannp5806 Thanks for sharing. I'll check that out. I believe the program in one of the IC chips went bad.

[@joannp5806]

Cancel19 Welcome ,even I'm surprised it worked! Don't even know why I thought of doing that,guess I figured, what did I have to lose?

[@austinlance7206]

interesting

[@diskoeric2248]

Omg dude. Please prepare before filming. This could have been way shorter.

[@pipedreams57]

Trash it and install a new player,...probbly for less money and pain than working on that piece of crap.

[@chrisbenoit5935]

Eh too much work

[@chrisbenoit5935]

Still liked as I thought this was a good video and you are nice for sharing 👍
