Hi everyone, I just got a new " used" radio in my 2007 HHR! Cost me $50 can. To have it unlocked at the dealer, not too bad I think, but my problem is with the old one that quit on me, completely dead. I have 6 cds inside I'd like to get out of there. Is there a way to power up the unit in order to eject the cds? Is there a parts diagram of the main board ( the bottom one) to find out if there is a microfuse or picofuse surface mounted somewhere on that circuit board. Who knows, that could be a simple reason why my radio quit.

 

When the changer in my neon quit working, I just took it apart and got the 6 discs out that were in there. It was a 4 disc changer lol.

 

If it's trash why not just open it up?

They don't normally put fuses inside boxes. In mt limited experience it has been either capacitors cooking or diodes failing.

 

thanks, I think I'll perform a little surgery then.
