Alpine 9833 CD Stuck...

[DooMer_MP3]

Hi all,

I was listening to an audio CD yesterday and then switched to AM radio to listen to a baseball game. This morning I switched back to CD and it wouldn't play. Said it was on track 28 (of 16) and at -1:38 playing time. I figured I'd eject it and put it back in. Upon hitting eject, the face motored down but no CD came out. No noises of movement or anything. I had to physically push the face back into place to get it to close.

So, is there any way to remove the CD? Or is this thing just shot? Its going on about 4 years.

Also, if I need to buy a new headunit, I would probably go with a 9886. Do Alpine wiring harnesses ever change? My friend did a pretty nice job soldering everything up for the 9833 install and if I can just remove the headunit/sleeve and slap the new one in that would be great.

Thanks much!

Unhook the whole face plate and then snap it back on.

You mean detach the face? If so, I tried that. Sat on "EJECT" and did nothing. Only after turning the car off could I even get it out of "EJECT" mode and at least have the radio function again.

When mine sometimes sticks I either add preasure with my hand pushing under the HU or detatch and reatach face plate.

Try removing the car's radio fuse and putting it back in. Should reset the player. Might work.

I have had this deck for along time and have had this problem a few times.. I usually just turn the car off for a few minutes, and when i turn it back on it works

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll give the reset a whirl in a bit.

Well, the reset fixed it. Darn, I was kind of getting excited for the 9886 too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Thanks to all!
