When you remove the faceplate you will find a small little black hole in the deck.Insert an opened paperclip to over ride the eject and make it come out.Please let me know if this helps

u have a faulty wire.

Hello beeswing70,

The player is recognizing that a CD has been inserted but is not able to read it.

Sometimes the lens assembly becomes contaminated and obscures the laser. I'd try using a commercial "lens cleaning CD" two or three times and then try a CD again. These lens cleaning CD's are widely available. If cleaning does not help, the player need professional service.

Hope this helps.

check there is lock on it.then unlock it then pull the cd rom.

1. If the keyboard has a CD/DVD Eject key, press it. The Eject key is usually placed by the volume knob and is marked by a triangle pointing up with a line underneath.
2. Double-click My Computer .
3. Right-click the icon for the CD, CDRW, or DVD drive that is stuck, and then click Eject.
4. If the CD or DVD drive door button is a long clear plastic bar on the front of the PC, press firmly on the right side of bar. Some models have a button on the front panel of the PC to the right of the hinged door. Press the button to eject the drive.
5. If the drive door button is part of the PC case and is covering the actual drive door, open the door that is part of the PC case and press the Eject button on the faceplate of the drive.
6. Restart the PC and press the Eject button on the front of the drive when the first screen appears (before Windows launches). If the drive door opens this way but does not open in Windows, another software program is taking control of the CD driver. Try shutting down or configuring any software programs that create discs or monitor the CD or DVD drive.
7. If the door still does not open, do the following:
   1. Close all programs and shut down the PC.
   2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
   3. Look for the small hole on the faceplate of the CD or DVD drive. This is the manual release. The location of the manual release hole will vary

1. Straighten the paperclip and insert it into the manual release hole until resistance is felt.
2. Once the resistance is felt, keep pushing the paper clip until the drawer opens a little.
3. Remove the paper clip and gently pull out the drawer until the disc is accessible.
4. Remove the CD and turn on the PC.

If the tray still does not open, do the following steps to check the power cable for the drive. Work on a hard flat surface over a non-carpeted floor:

1. Turn off the PC.
2. Unplug all power cords from the back of the PC.
3. Press and release the Power button on the front of the computer.
4. Remove the side panel.

1. Unplug the power cable and wait five seconds.
2. Find a different power cable that is not being used, plug the different power cable into the back of the drive, making sure that it fits firmly into the socket. If a different power cable is not available, replug the original power cable into the back of the drive, making sure that it fits firmly into the socket.
3. Replace the side panel and plug in the power cord.

1. Turn on the PC and press the eject button on the front of the drive.

If the optical drive does not have the manual eject feature and the CD tray will not open by using the steps in this document or if a disc has shattered inside the drive, the CD, CDRW, DVD drive may need to be replaced.

Thanks

It is more then likely your faceplate has become non functional, and if so the cd player is almost none functional. If you can remove the faceplate try cleaning the connections that clip into the cd player. But by the sounds of it, your face plate is die'ing out on you. Sorry

Good luck,
IF you need any more help just ask.
Thankyou

lol

try to hit slowly the faceplate in the left side until its open

Correct on the ribbon cable but parts can be ordered for it, duel has service centers, inc the one i work @. its abought a $10 part

Look for a tiny, recessed Reset button on the front of the unit with the face removed. Press this button with a pen tip; it should spit out the CD and work correctly afterwards. This will also erase your station presets and audio settings.
