Our main CD player was broken; the tray would not open. Simple online-suggested ideas didn't work.

So yesterday, very tentatively (as my ability to fix things is approximately zero), I took the case off, fiddled about, plugged it in ... and the tray opened and closed!

Put the case back on, plugged it in ... still worked!

Tried playing a CD ... still works! :-)

Thank you! :-)

Hurray! Fixing things is such a buzz.

[wellinghall]

It is! :-)

Splendid. I've a stuck CD tray like that too. But, I'm rather averse to opening the thing up. Might hurt the valves. (Yes, DAB, CD player with valves.)

Cool. (Or, rather, warm).

How are you?

[muninnhuginn]

Not too bad. I'm retiring next week.

How are you?

Managing, thanks, though stupidly busy. I am increasingly looking forward to retirement.
