It won't turn off

Hi Jesse,

Since you have done this numerous times, so you know the installation process. It seems there's something wrong with the aftermarket CD player, try replacing it with another one.

How do I get a stuck CD out of it's player????

This means that something in the mechanism is jammed. It keeps on trying to correct for the misalignment- a service technician will need to see the unit.

take vechicle to garage if you see airbag light flashing, sound like you have a electrical problem if you see smoke sparks something shorting out.

I'll bet me boots your little blue eyed boy has shoved a dozen CDs or a sandwich or something incompatible with CD players. If the carousel won't budge you may have to remove the lid and see exactly what's gumming up the works. Just remove whatever it is carefully and maybe a clean up may be in order if something sticky is involved. Just be careful of getting water in the wrong spot. Use a damp cloth with the power turned off and unplugged of course. Cheers from NSW

Unplug the units power, unscrew and remove the top. it has 3 screws on the back and I believe 2 in each side. Look to see if anything such as a CD is jamming or preventing the tray from opening.

If there isn't something like a CD physically blocking the door mechanism then the issue could be anything from a slipping drive band a dead motor or something has gone wrong with the mainboard.

The "expected" life of an audio component is 5-9 years. If its past 3 years old its generally not worth repairing as 1 hour labor and a motor for instance would cost you more than the cost of a new unit.

Hope that helps

Probable that it IS Outdated. CD input May be to Hi or Low for "OLDER" Units

HI. you will need to replace the loading dock motor. once this replacement is done, you will have no problem loading and unloading your media. This repair will need to be initiated by Bose unfortunately. you will need to send it to Bose.

try holding the eject cd button while turning on and off or pressing the eject button rapidly while turning off and on. Thats done the trick for me in the past.

you can try this unplug the unit , you'll need alchohol, q-tips, screwdriver open it and look for all the flat cable connectors. be carefull and remove 1 side at the time ,and clean the contacts, put them back on , see if you can see the optic laser inside the mechanism it looks like a crystal eye, if you can reach it be gentle and clean the dust may it have. or buy at radio shack a cd cleaner. if after that your dvd don't work with dvds try a regular cd. if it plays music the laser its bad nothig else you can do. cheaper to buy a new one
