Default 6 disc changer stuck?

Hey guys, I don't know if any of you have had this problem, but this is really weird.

I own a 2002 ES 300 and it came with the nav/ 6-disc changer.
Everything was working fine until one day, I hit the Eject button on the 6-disc changer, and the thing won't come out! :-(

It doesn't look like anything is stuck or anything, but the darn thing keeps switching motors like it's going to kick it out, but nothing happens.

Is there anyway to open this compartment and take it out, or should I just take it to the dealer? thanks in advance...

btw, this is inside, under neath the armrest center console

I had the same thing happen to mine. I think it happens if you play burned cds. The only thing I can think of that you can do is send to get it fixed. But I never had the time to take it out so I just didn't use for about a month. Then one day I just randomly decided to try it and it started working for some odd reason. So you could always wait and see if you dont want to remove it.

Ours did this. I unplugged the battery cable for 15 minutes and it reset itself. The lost CD then came out. It was a standard store bought CD. It wasn't my idea.... I read it here or someplace else.

thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll go ahead and try holding the button down, but I think i've tried it before. The battery cable thing, I'll try that :-P guess it'll reset the ecu too...

p.s. I hate the freakin' TSB update I got done last year, my revs go all the way to 4k under normal/light accel .....
