head unit won't open
 

I'm a newbie and I just installed an old sony cdx-m610 unit. The radio tuner works, but the faceplate won't open. I can hear the mechanism gears trying to move but it won't budge. And I can't select the cd player with the source button on the remote. Does anyone know why it won't open? Can anyone help? Thanks!

is it a used one?

thats the biggest problem with motorized flip downs... the motors dont last sometimes

well he did say its old.. like you said, those motors dont last.. a couple times i got lucky and just hitting the reset button (if your deck is equipped) allowed the cd to function again.. but my guess is you need to get a new cd player.. GL man.. :)

get rid of that motorized sony, itll give u nothing but headaches, all motorize sonys tend to break, sony doesnt build a high quality radio anymore
