Just remove the centre top screw in the back heatsink, then carefully pop the top off,

Then you will see a small circuit board on the left side (looking at buttons), that has 2 screws, remove that and flex it backwards on its wires.

then the CD carriage is helo by 5 screws, 3 on the left and 2 on the right, the forward one on the right is under the retaining clip, so whip that off to.

Then the hole CD carriage can be lifted out, its on a long ribbon so no need to disconnect anything else. get a cotton bud and some cleaning solvent, poke it in from the back and give the lense a wipe, wait for it to dry then try it. You can try a CD with it dismantled to check its any better.

Well that didn't help much.

Now the unit won't even power up - all fuses OK and power through to the unit. All I did was clean the lense.

Wee, poo, bottom.

Mine used to do this so I replaced it. But levering up on the disc was the solution. You could get a finger in enough to push up while stabbing repeatedly on the eject button.

Dont use cleaning solvent, use Iso alcohol nothing else in a gentle twisting rubbing motion. If you use solvent it will melt the lens.
I used to fix these for a living..
If that dont work then the laser is probably stuffed or the spindle motor is cactus

Hard to tell what effect my cleaning had as it will not power up. No radio even.

No to get it to eject, if left partially ejected it'll suck it back in.

This is because you have to use the radio preset buttons (1-6) to enter the code.

EG: if the code is 3542, then simply push the radio preset buttons in order, again just look at the buttons not the display as it is there to confuse you.
Just push button no. 3, then button no. 5, button no. 4 & button no. 2. the radio should now burst into life & you can now tune the radio to your sations.

Cheers.

p.s. if it doesnt work, then you either have the wrong code or the buttons have stopped working, common with these head units.
Post/PM the 10 digit serial no. & i can check to see if you have the right code.

Excellent info.
I had been trying so may different ways to enter the radio code for mine and have the same CD player shown earlier. It was simple. All I had to do was as IGNORE everything shown on the display. The display is a trick..
I just turned the radio on and it said Code 1, I just entered my 4 digit code in eg 1234 and it came alive. No other buttons or combinations were needed.

However my 2003 D2a code contains a 9 and there are only 6 radio buttons, how do I punch in the code?
