Me again - sorry

The CD changer casette will not eject you can hear the mechanism working when you press the green eject button but the casette dont move. I have tried prizing with a screwdriver but it wont budge? Anyone come across this before?
 
Ooooo yes. When you press the button does it rise at all?

What I used to do was lift with screwdriver then use pliers
 
They are not the same changer, be careful forcing magazine out, you can do more damage. It might be just a strip down now, a full rebuild if you force it!
 
I know jvc and kenwood have a pinhole somwhere on them with a reset switch in it, might have one you never know.
 
There is no reset on xqe500201/202 autochanger, if it is a mechanical jam, no reset would sort any autochanger anyway. Only one thing for it, got to come out for repair.
 
My D2 changer jammed recently, I got the same all the noise but no movement, took it out and a spring had come off the anti shock and jammed the cassette, quick fix really:)
 
Had the same problem....

The front cover just unclips, and then I used a small Philips to remove the black beveled surrounding the cassette slot....

I could then see the stuck CD drawer sticking out....a few deft wiggles with a flat screwdriver to push the mechanisum off the CD drawer and to retract the drawer, and hey presto it gave me back my Cassette and discs...!!!

The photos are naff and don't show much, also were taken after the event!! sorry...

I know you have not said its the clarion changer, just that it was stuck. The clarion magazine will not just pop out. Out of interest did it work afterwards and is alpine?
 
CD Changer now works fine...Alpine - No idea....doesn't have a makers name that I can find...!!!
 
Kinda All three, I lifted the Mechanism off the tray, they tweaked the tray back to the cassette and pushed the drive unit off the bottom, it then whirred, retracted the tray and spat the cassette out!!!
 
Sorry to be a pain but where did you lift from? I've stuck the screwdriver in so many bits, the unit now thinks we are an item! I've added a pic of mine still stuck for reference.

Mine stuck ages ago and after poking about with a screwdriver for a while I found the best thing to do was just hit it....tap the cassette not mega hard but enough and see what happens....Mine has worked perfectly ever since...:violent:

I've poked, prodded, tapped and thumped, all to no avail. I then spoke gently, then harshly, then outright threatened it, the result being a screwdriver across the knuckle and now sporting a nifty blue plaster. I have now left it alone for the night with the promise of 'I'll be back!'.:mil68:
