Audio Systems: 2002 MPV 6 CD Changer Problem, button results, load button


Question
My neighbor's 3yo was loose inside our MPV the other day while my wife was pulling groceries out of the back.  Is seems it is possible to 'unload' the 6 disc cd changer without having the ignition on.  It appears the little one did that, then proceeded to "shove" the disc back into the player. 8-(

The player is now frozen.  Pressing the Unload button results in a short motor sound, but that's all, same goes for pressing the Load button. Can't play CDs. I don't see the CD he shoved in (he must have done a heck of a job, but at least the radio still works ;-)

My questions are as follows: "Can I take the system out of the van myself and try to fix it, or is that just asking for trouble?  Do I need special tools to get the system out, or just instructions? If it's just instructions, could you provide?"  

I consider myself pretty mechanically-inclined, so I'm willing to do the work, I just want to know if it's even feasible...

Thanks in advance,

Tom  

Answer
Tom,
You may want to take to stereo out of the dash a have a look inside. If this stereo is/has a 6 disc changer inside of it one of the trays may be broken and jamming up the CD assembly. No special tools are needed to remove and open the stereo.
