I put 2 cd's on top of eachother. now the cd player wont open but it will turn on. when i turn it on it says mechanical error.

try opening player and very very gently try cleaning optic on player with a Qtip and rubbing alcohol

that should help

Good luck

just clean the lens in your dvd player ........

Your going to have to take it apart and manually remove the cd.
To do this remove the top cover.
Make sure the power is off and that it is unpluged when doing so.

You could try to spray some oil into the spindlemotor, sometimes(very rare) they tend to stick a bit and will not turn properly or keep the right speed.

With the power turned off, open the DVD Player, and then open the top where you load the DVD into the player. Locate the laser lens and notice that the laser is attached to a transport assembly that moves the laser diagonally outward in a slot. 1. Slide this assembly outward to the end of its track. 2. Slide the assembly back inward to the closest inward position. 3. Repeat the process of sliding the assembly outward and then back inward.4. Put in a music CD and let it play all the way through. This helps to calibrate the laser head assembly movement. When the music CD is finished playing. 5. Put in a DVD, and you should have a working unit again This is a factory solution from Mintek that was given to a customer who ask for help with the forever loading disc problems. This solution may work on other models of portable DVD players. Most portable DVD players use this type of transport mechanism. Try this solution it might work for you.

because. Cd's and DVD's are set for region's if you have 2 that dont match then they wont work with eachother.

theres 2 screws on top of the unit called teansit screws. remove them, if that isnt the problem then return the pos.

I had this happen to me as ell. you've probably got a cd stuck under the revolving tray. I took the top cover off and then opened the drawer and removed the offending disk. If you're not technically minded it's probably better to take it in to a repair shop. Mike

The error code is a mechanical error fault, possibly something in the mechanics that load the CD onto the spindle motor. The only sure way to know what the problem is, is to open the unit and let it load a disc and see what happens. The problem may also be due to a very dirty laser lens, with a dirty lens the laser won't be able to read the TOC (table of contents) and all the CD's will cycle through the changer and a error code will be set. Best of Luck.

you have to unscrew the case. then you can get the cds out
