Hey mvC230. This has happened to me a few times.
Buy one of those Professional Strength Air Duster cans from Office Depot, CVS, Wallgreens, etc. (You'll need a large one, at least 10 oz. for power.) Aim the straw into the area where the CD's are and blow it for awhile. Try ejecting while blowing the air duster into the changer.
If that doesn't work, I unscrewed my CD changer and shook it while blowing air into it with the duster. I then reattached it and the CD ejected. (I noticed that it happens to me when I use CD-R's and on hot days. Go figure!) Hope this helps.

My wife's C240 CD changer is also stuck now. Before it would just have trouble or not play cdr's. I'm going to try to reset the eject button mentioned above, If all fails where can we buy a used changer?

PM me. I have an extra, as my problem is with the db2 link, proven by installing both changers in another vehicle and tested ok.
