6 CD unit locked in "ejecting"

Hi everyone,
Just bought disco3, and stumbled o this site, well impressed.

Can anyone help, my 6 CD unit has a problm when I select CD. The display shows that there is a disc in position 1, an the display shows "ejecting". N matter what I try to select (eject, C, load all, eject all) I cannot progress to eject this disc (if there is one) or load CDs to the other 5 positions.

Any advice appreciated.

Remove fuse 53 behind the glovebox ..for a few mins ..then put it back in ..or disconnect battery for a couple of mins (make sure you let the car go to sleep first - instructions next to the battery ) G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Wiggs - THANKYOU!!
Removed fuse, replaced and nothing changed?

After some choice expletives thought I would try again, but waited longer before repacing fuse. System check was initiated, and hey presto CD1 now playing, and ejected OK, some free Mail On Sunday disc, now in the bin.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Hey,
I know this is an old thread but I have the same issues with my disco. Its second hand so out of warranty, Initially it would not load discs, then removed fuse s53 for about 10 mins. CD's now accepted but i get the message "invalid disk" on brand new bought cd's. Ive tried it in all 6 positions.

Any advice?

Thanks

Dave.

Have the same problem. Sometimes the cd plays and suddenly the screen reads invalid disk eject.
Luckily car is still under warranty and new cd unit has been ordered.

Had similar problem with mine (invalid disc) when I was on a trip to Italy, thought it may have been the heat Smile.
Anyway on return was quoted silly money for replacement as out of warranty. I stripped the unit down and used a cotton bud to clean the CD lens and hey presto - that was 2 years ago and no problems since.
Probably should have tried a cd cleaner before stripping it but wasnt too much work.

This has now happened to me. How do you use a disc head cleaner as the CD will not accept a cd. Can anyone inform me how to get access into the Cd fascia or Player
Thanks
