Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Stuck disk

I attempted to rip a CD using my C15's drive. Upon inserting the C15 announced that no storage was available. Seemed odd since I use a TwinStore for all storage. I had been out of town for several weeks and had just turned both of them on. I am guessing that the C15 had not found the TwinStore, hence the no storage available message.

I restarted the C15, but it won't read the disk and I can't get it to eject using a paperclip in hole under the drive.

Is there another way to force an eject or a rip? I really don't want to send it in for service. I do want my CD back. I normally rip using dBpoweramp, but this time I was taking the convenient route and using the C15.

Have you tried powering the C15 down and backup again?
This will cause the C15 to attempt to kick out the CD from the drive.

Use manual eject - there is a small hole below the CD input.
Use a paper clip to force the CD out.

As noted in the original post I tried that and it did not work.

I tried this several times including once where I unplugged it from the wall for a few minutes before powering it back up. The drive may have failed, but I will say that when the disc was inserted the C15 sucked it in, read it, but then noted that no storage was available.

At this point I am forced to go in to retrieve it. A lot of screws to remove though.

Some times you just have to go in with all guns blazing!

Good luck!

Before you go in with all guns blazing. Power everything down. Power up store first etc, then finally power up C15 that has disc still ingested. I had a similar problem recently after power outage and my C15 finally returned the disc after being powered up last in the chain. The problem has not repeated.

Just suffered my first stuck CD in C15 and followed the guidance here and can report that this seems to have worked for me too and the C15 eventually coughed up the disc.
