Repair A Jammed Cd Player In An Acura

Fixing Acura CD player


The CD player in your Acura freezes or gets jammed and refuses to eject the disc when dust from outside accumulates on your lens or when the motor that ejects the CD gets too old. To return the CD player to working condition, you must unjam it.


Instructions


1. Straighten a paper clip. Use the pointed end of the clip to push through a small hole next to the eject button of the player. This is your emergency eject button. Once you push through this tiny hole, the disc should eject out. If this doesn't work, follow step 2.








2. Turn off your car engine and release the key or open the door to force your CD player to turn off. Wait for a few minutes and turn it back on. Do this multiple times until the disc ejects. Follow step 3 if this doesn't solve the problem.


3. Insert an empty or useless disc about an inch deep into the slot that mounts your discs. Make sure the disc is placed on the top of the jammed disc. Move this empty disc sideways while pushing the eject button repeatedly. Keep doing this for at least 2 to 3 minutes until the disc comes out. If this fails to work, follow step 4.


4. Clean the lens with a CD cleaner. They are available in most electronic stores or online. Make sure you buy a cleaner that is meant specifically for CD/DVD players. Game consoles have different kinds of cleaners.








5. Take your car to an authorized dealer if the CD player is still under manufacturer's warranty. Keep in mind, if you try to open the player by yourself, then the warranty becomes void. If your player is not under warranty, take it to your local repair shop. You may have to change the motor that ejects the discs. The motor stops working when it becomes too old.
