CD disc cartridge stuck

topman · 13th April 2014, 13:47

Just got an ZT-T found the NO SRC when trying to play the CD player. Went in the back found cartridge won't pop out. From other threads it's a cog or worm wheel. There's is a 'how to' but I can't know find it again

Anyone pop a link up if they know where it is?

Or any info about the fault if you've had it?

Thanks.

CHM 604 MP3 are the only markings, no brand name.

If there is a single plug into the side, it is an aftermarket alpine one. That model no is definitely an alpine one though. Is your stereo a rover fit one?

Open it's sliding door and give it the cartridge a bash with a rubber hammer shaft or similar..

Yes there is just one plug, yes the stereo is rover.

Hmm, I could have sworn my own had 3 plugs going into it.

Well that's great news. The cd changer I linked to, will work along with other alpine changers going back a number of years. At least 20!

The model you have is the mp3 model (obviously), the one I linked to, is not.

If you smash it up,ie the delicate suspension units, using the mallet or a firm finger/screwdriver, you know their replacements are not expensive

All sorted now, just gave it a whack and a clean.
