Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I had a magazine get stuck recently, (Actually, twice, 2 different ways..once it just kept saying "Loading" no matter what and the power off trick worked, the other time it said "Magazine", and I had to use the metal ruler trick.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The trunk-mounted CD changer magazine won't come out when I push the EJECT button. Is there some way to get it out without dissasmbling the entire unit? My used 996 came with every manual except the one for the CD changer.

POST 2Original post

AFAIK there isn't a separate manual for the CD changer that I could find, either. I had a magazine get stuck recently, (Actually, twice, 2 different ways..once it just kept saying "Loading" no matter what and the power off trick worked, the other time it said "Magazine", and I had to use the metal ruler trick. I put a small dab of Silglide on the locking pin location after that,so far no problems since) all I had to do was pull the bus connector apart to kill power to the unit, then when I plugged it back in, the eject worked. There IS a way to disengage the pin that locks the magazine, but it's pretty hard to describe via internet. You need a thin flat stiff not too wide metal shim...I used a SS ruler. If you insert it about 2/3's of the way across the top of cassette, and push down & to the left (like I said it's a feel thing), you can disenage the metal pin that locks the cassette in place. I have a spare cassette, so I can "see" where the pin locks in for a reference.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
