FRiends, I need some help. I have a cd stuck in the car cd player. When I push the eject button it says there's "no cd", but it's in there. Obviously it won't accept a new cd either. How do I get the cd out of it? Do I have to take it in or can I pop out the cover plate? And how does one get the cover plate off?

Power cycle and retry. (Power cycle = Unhook the (-) side of the car battery for about 30 seconds and reconnect)

Sorry, nothing is doing the trick. Called the dealer and they say the cover merely pops off with a small screw driver - um, no it doesn’t. Called another place and they want it brought in. Another dealer says they have to take out the whole thing and send it off for about $300. Hello, it’s just a darned plastic disc.

I sometimes resort to the biblical solution in addition to step 3:
Luke 18:2-5: He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'"
You know you have succeeded when the conversation ends with "you know, why don't I just come over and do it for you, that would be easier than trying to explain it to you again......" :-)

Get a cutting torch and use it very carefully. Keep a fire extinguisher handy of course.

Had that happen with a cassette tape. No one locally could get it out. Dealer suggested taking the dash unit out and sending it to a “center” and gave me their number. Their quote turned out to be just under the price of a salvage unit from the local auto yard. I took that option as the tape was expendable and I didn’t have to be without the unit through all the shipping/repair stretch. Good Fortune to you.

Alrighty, called another guy and he said he’d look at it and it’d be free if there wasn’t anything to it but he might charge “a little bit” if he had to mess with it a while. Anything is better than taking it to the dealer.
Thanks for everyone’s suggestions!

I had the same experience with a tape. Apparently. the heat can warp them. Replace the radio or wast a lot of time and effort trying to avoid the inevitable.

1- Disconnect car battery for 30 minutes. Maybe your CD player will “reset”
2- Is there a pinhole in the sliding (in and out) CD tray? There is in CD players for computers. You stick a bent paper clip in and hook it and pull it out

I had a CD/ stereo combo that would do that periodically. Needlenose pliers was the solution. If you move the dustcatcher stuff aside right in the center you can probably see the CD, either get them in there to grap a little piece of the CD and haul it out manually or use the blunt tip to push in further and engage the mechanism.

The CD player might be toast. If it won’t cycle when you unplug the power cable and plug it in again it might be necessary to open the case, which probably means major surgery to the dashboard, and even then it is probably toast. Sell the car.

happens to me from time to time
First I say this is what you get for buying a cheap CD player
Second I usually hit the reset button or disconnect the battery then turn the player back on and hit reject(thats how I fell about my cd player reject) that usually works....
