CD player stopped working...HELP!
So, the other day, I'm jamming out to a cd playing in my 6-disc, in-dash, stock stereo. (2003 F350 Lariat) Suddenly, the cd stops, and the face says "CD Error". So, I turn off the power to reset it and turn it back on....now, it says "No Disc." It won't eject any of the CDs that are in it, and it won't load any other CDs. What now??

There is a history behind this. There is a shop in FL (that I know of) that handles the the "FiX" for about $260-$280 (you take it out and ship-off).
I know a way to get inside and jumping off the Loader/unloader to get the CDs to a place that I could remove by hand or a tool. Its usually a 50/50 chance if the H/U will live again after that .
I've even known a few people to "tear" the chassis all the way down to retrieve all their CDs, but obviously the H/U will be non-functioning, after that...

I'd rather just fix it myself then deal with the stealership haggling over a stereo and being without my truck for a day or three. But it is good to know that if I want/need to get it taken care of I can just take it back to Ford and get some of my $$$ back out of the extended warranty, because I haven't needed it yey...Knock on wood!
BTW, yes it does have 4 holes in the corners. Why is that noteworthy?

For kicks and giggles....
Audio Unit Self-Diagnostic Test
NOTE: To enter the speaker walk-around test or audio unit self-diagnostic test, the audio unit must be turned on and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM).
- To enter the following tests, press the desired preset button while in the speaker walk-around test or while in the audio unit self-diagnostic test.
- To exit the audio unit self-diagnostic test, turn the ignition switch or the audio unit off.
- NOTE: Turning the ignition switch off and back on may not re-enable the DVD player buttons.
The audio unit self-diagnostic test disables the DVD player buttons. To re-enable the DVD player buttons, turn the audio unit off and back on. The headphone symbol lights up on the audio unit display to indicate the DVD player buttons are re-enabled.
- If the concern remains and the fault is not detected....(go see symptom chart)
- The self-diagnostic test has 7 manual tests available:
- Preset button 1 = Audio Internal/External tests. This test verifies the communication to devices internal and external to the audio system. While the tests are carried out, the display flashes SELF TEST. When the tests are completed, the display stops flashing and shows either SELF PASS or SELF FAIL. Failures can be viewed by pressing the tune up button to start the scroll through the list of faults. Each fault is displayed for 2 seconds. After the last fault is displayed, SELF FAIL is returned to the display.
Internal/external self-test can be exited any time by entering another diagnostic test.
- Preset button 2 = VIEW/CLEAR DTCs. This test displays and allows the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to be cleared. If no DTCs are found, the display shows NO DTCs. If any DTCs are present, the display shows DTCs FOUND and can be viewed by pressing the tune up button to start scrolling through the list of faults.
To clear all DTCs, press the EJECT key. The display shows DTCs CLEAR.
- Preset button 3 = SIGNAL STRENGTH TEST. This test displays the average signal strength of the currently tuned frequency.
- Preset button 4 = Software version information. This test queries each radio system controller for its software version information. The software levels can be viewed by pressing the tune up button to start scrolling the various microcontrollers. After the last software level is displayed, the SOFT LEVELS message is returned to the display.
- Preset button 5 = DISPLAY TEST. This test lights all the display segments for 5 seconds and then turns all segments off.
- Preset button 6 = MODULE CONFIGURATION. This tests the audio unit configuration. The configuration can be viewed by pressing the tune up button.
- CD button = CDX6 diagnostic mode. This test displays the last modes and errors that are saved in the memory. While these tests are being carried out, the audio unit displays CD DIAG. The modes and errors can be viewed by pressing the tune up button.
- Preset button 1 = Audio Internal/External tests. This test verifies the communication to devices internal and external to the audio system. While the tests are carried out, the display flashes SELF TEST. When the tests are completed, the display stops flashing and shows either SELF PASS or SELF FAIL. Failures can be viewed by pressing the tune up button to start the scroll through the list of faults. Each fault is displayed for 2 seconds. After the last fault is displayed, SELF FAIL is returned to the display.
- To exit the self-diagnostic test, turn the ignition switch off or the audio unit off.

If the changer is covered under warranty, the vehicle isn't tied up for a few days as they changed mine in 15-20 min after they got new one in.
