Frank this is mostly for you. I opened the CD Player up and saw that two CDs were stuck inside so I fixed that problem but its still giving me a error. I took a picture of it this time. I have no clue what it is. The radio still works and it shows theres 6 CDs in it but theres only 1 that I couldn't get out. Heres a pic of the error (its error code 7285):

 

Check the laser alignment. I think the laser has been knocked out of its track and that's why you are getting that message. It's the one my player showed and it was the laser that was off.

Granted, the message is apparently a generic error code. I can try to look at the unit if you are willing to wait a bit.

 

How long is wait? I can drive over to Raleigh and meet you somewhere if you have a free weekend over the holidays. Or I can just wait until the meet in May. Is there anyway you can help me to realign the laser?

 

This coming Sunday in the morning I may be able to help. Basically I'd open it up and look at things...if it has worked prior to this and hasn't been shipped then the issue should be obvious.

 

Yeah I opened it up and saw 2 CDs were stuck in one slot so I removed those hoping that would fix the problem but it didn't. Where can I meet you?

 

PM me
