CD Player Help

Shortly after acquiring our 2005 350, the in-dash CD player stopped functioning. There is a disc in it that will not play or eject. Initially, the unit did play.
We also have the factory multi-disc changer in the glove box which works as it is supposed to so the in-dash non-functioning unit has not been an issue. With that said, I would still like to get it working. Could it possibly be something as simple as a fuse and if so, which one? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

We always recommend rebooting the car and that should fix it :D

disconnect neg cable for a minimum of 30 minutes
reconnect cable
synch windows and reset clock
see if cd pops out after turning on cd player and hitting eject button

Jeff,

The battery has been disconnected on multiple occasions for various reasons with no effect on the performance of the disc player. Thanks for the input. Anyone else?

Unfortunately, disconnecting the battery isn't a cure-all for electrical issues. No, there is no noise, etc., but the display does say "CD Error".

I don't know what fuses to check. Please supply the appropriate numbers.

I had a 2005 SLK 350 with a cd I could not eject. Error was: CD error. Guess what procedure I followed? Out it came.
