Hi, I have a Bose Lifestyle 20 and the CD cartridge is stuck with the motor continuously running. I realize there is a CD Changer Manual Release on the underside but can someone describe how to use it. There are two openings but it is not obvious how to release the cartridge. I have tried poking around with a small screwdriver but am afraid I will cause more damage. Can someone describe which of the two openings to access (thin rectangular or wider square) and is there a latch/lever/etc that needs to be depressed to release the cartridge? |

You will find a slot just left of the molded sign "manual cd release". Shine a flashlight in and you'll see a U shaped cut out sheet metal on top of another piece of sheet metal. Stick a thin blade down against the U and pull away from the front CD door. Travel is about 1/2 inch til release. I got my cd cassette out but the cd still won't load. Good luck with yours. |

There is some detailed instructions on how to repair this common problem. You can go to www.AnyoneCanFixIt.com and see the electronics section regarding the Bose Lifestyle 20 Series. If you can't get the CD magazine out by using the manual release on the bottom of the unit, the instructions will show you how to work around that too.
If you can get the CD magazine out, you will most likely have the problem of the unit just buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, and not able to load a CD to play. The instructions will show you how to fix that. |

Your messages (some) are really helpful. I manage to solve my magazine release problem thanks to Claudio Fassardi. I think the cause of the stucking was a thicker CD, it's in the recycle bin already. Unfortunately before having read his post I tried blindedly to work the CD Changer Manual Release and so I released one of the 4 springs mentiones by others. Anyway I'm listening to my CD's once again and it didn't cost the crazy fees Bose charges. |
