DVD Won't Eject! - Fixed!

baneonrt · 03-19-2008, 09:43 PM

Ok, I made a stupid mistake. I thought I'd be clever and make a custom navigation DVD that included the version 6300 update file so I wouldn't have to load the update disc every time I disconnected the battery. Seemed like an innocent task at the time. I figured if it didn't work then oh well, a DL DVD is now a coaster.

Well, I put the DVD in the map slot and now the system doesn't recognize a disc is there at all. Therefore it won't eject said disc. Just says something like "No Map DVD loaded" or something similar.

HELP! Any ideas? Is there a special key combination to force a disc eject?

I've tried disconnecting the battery again but nothing seems to be working. Searches on Google have also turned up nothing.

I can get a CD/DVD to eject from the top slot by holding down the "Tilt" button. But have not found a button combination to for the Map DVD to eject.

Grrr

I got a PM from someone on NASIOC with the answer so I figure for the next poor soul's sake I'd post it here

With the face tilted down touch the upper right corner of the touch screen for about 5 seconds.

Yes, it did. So to summarize:

To eject the CD/DVD top slot hold down the "Tilt" button.

To eject the Map DVD, WITH THE SCREEN ALREADY TILTED touch the upper right corner of the screen for 5 seconds.

I highlighted the part above because I believe if you don't already have the screen tilted it will still try to eject the dvd and might cause bad things to happen.

This is great info, perhaps a sticky for other members that may make the same mistake or cant get the DVD to eject.
