    So I got this radio in that won't eject. It tries. It pushes out the bottom half a little then just retracts. On another unit I replaced the digitizer on, I remember the eject "mechanism" is more like an empty CD tray that comes out and the sides just follow a track in the screen to force it to come out and down to insert discs. This radio DID eject until recently.

    This vid kinda shows the eject mechanism


    Im wondering if this unit that won't eject got jossled or something and is now off kilter and needs to be recentered or something ? But in that vid, in order to take the screen assembly off you need to be able to eject it.

    Looking for any and all help in order to get the screen off/ejecting.

    Thanks
    Ec

    Naaaa, you don't NEED to release the locking tabs! Just yank that cable out! (n)(n)
