My CDA-9815 decided to stop working today... well, it still works fine EXCEPT it won't eject the CD currently stuck inside.
Alpine's user manual and tech support say to hold down on the eject button for 5 seconds if it won't eject. Well, mine still won't eject when trying that. It appears that the two white locking arms inside won't disengage.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I've ripped the headunit out of my car and have taken the top cover off, but I'm not seeing anything obviously broken. I'm out of warranty anyway so I figure no additional risk, they want $95 to repair it. -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif --
It goes in the mail off to Alpine tomorrow morning if I can't fix it. Being broken and costing me $95 is bad enough, but being without music the rest of the week is what upsets me. -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif -- -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif -- -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif --
