This morning my Eclipse CD8455 refused to play the cd which had been sitting in the radio for the past month. I'll play it a few times once every other day or so. However this time when I selected CD it tried to play then jumped back to FM radio where it was prior to me selecting the CD option. So I open the face and try to eject the cd. The cd refuses to eject and the face won't close. Radio is stuck on star 98.7 and I can't power it off or change the input/station.

Anyone know of a way to reset the radio? I need to be careful since the stereo is an active setup and it loses the settings after disconnecting the battery. I have ESN so it should demand the ESN cd if I do disconnect the battery. Anyone see the dilemma here?

 

Looks like all it needed was a reset. I was afraid the cd would be stuck in there, tripping off the ESN after a reset then me = no radio.

 

Are you sure the ESN was even setup?

 

Yeah, ESN was active. I had to reset that and my crossover points. My fear was that if the CD wouldn't eject then I would be stuck with a dead deck.
