Power is on but drawer will not open with open/close button or with remote

1. Uh, I think you already have a solution but the following may help someone else.
2. Ensure that the device is powered on.
3. Press the "Function" button (28/58) to set the unit to CD mode.
4. Press the "Open/Close" button (19/48) to open the CD drawer.
5. Insert a CD into the tray with the label side facing up.
6. Press the "Open/Close" button again to close the CD drawer.

If the above steps don't work, you can try the following:

1. Unplug the device from the power outlet.
2. Wait for a few minutes.
3. Plug the device back in.
4. Press the "Open/Close" button to see if the CD drawer opens.

If the drawer still doesn't open, there might be a mechanical issue with the device. Look for the Fixya advise referred to above. If if that doesn't work, in that case, it's best to contact Crosley's customer support for further assistance.

Try removing power from the unit, let it set two minutes without power and power it up again. See if the problem continues.
Make sure the cd drawer is complete closed and flush with the front panel. If not, something could be stuck inside.
Turn off power and remove cord from wall for next step:
There is a small hole generally on the flat face of the cd drawer through which a bent straight paper clip can be pushed gently until you hit a mechanical stop. Pushing slightly harder at this point should cause the cd drawer to move open mechanically. Gently pull the cd drawer open until you can remove any CD still inside.
Gently push the drawer closed again and restore power to the unit and see if the problem returns.
Would be nice to have manufacturer and model number of the CD player.

With the price of dvd players and yours bieng 6 years plus it make more sense to just buy a new one.

Sometimes DVD player drawers get stuck closed because the disc inside isn't seated properly. At other times the player may have another problem. The first step in discovering if it is the disc or another issue is to remove the disc. Most DVD players have a secret eject button. It allows you to open the drawer when a disc gets stuck and cannot be ejected normally.
For this you'll need a standard size paperclip.

1. Unfold the paperclip and make it as straight as possible.
2. Look closely at your DVD player . Push the tip the paper clip into the small hole on the tray cover on the front of the Toshiba. The hole is on the right side of the cover.
3. Press inward gently with the paperclip until you feel a slight resistance, then continue pushing to engage the internal eject button. The tray should pop open partway.
4. Gently pull the drawer until it's fully retracted. Be careful not to pull too far.
5. Remove your disc from the drive.
6. Before you reinsert another disc, use the remote and/or buttons on the player to close the door, and reopen it. You can also press carefully with your fingers. If you cannot open/close the drawer normally at this point, do not put in a new disc until you have repaired the problem.

What You Need

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

Hi, I have just sucessfully unlocked my LG home theatre HT502TH by do the steps below - good luck

1. Opening DVD Drawer
2. Pressing "0000" on the remote.
3. A screen appears saying NEW REGION CODE and displays the current one.
4. Press "0" for all zones.
5. Press the "select" button on the remote.
6. Close the CD Drawer. (may need to do this manually)
7. Power off

The drawer often stops working when it is abruptly stopped while opening and forced closed or vice-versa. To fix, simply do the following:
1) Push the draw all the way closed
2) Push the "Setup" button repeatedly until the "Open/Close ...?" appears.
3) Hold the Start Button until the time reappears in the display.
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 three more times
5) Unplug the Microwave for 30 minutes.
The drawer is now reset. The drawer will now open electronically (automatically) either by pushing the open button on the panel or by pulling the drawer handle slightly.

take it back to the store or repair shop. Same thing happened to a friend and because it was new, the machine was exchanged.

open the case take the metal piece with disc spinner of {one screw}then pull drawer out then push drawer back in and assemble the unit plug power back in and try again
