Re: C5 X7 rt4 , cd stuck inside
There is a video here for removing a CD from the RD4 - not the same as an RT4, but similar.
If it is one of your own CD that has got stuck (i.e. one that you have burned yourself, - the RT4w are very sensitive and need have the CD burned at the lowest speed.
Some hold the CD button down for 10 seconds - but it is probably stuck in a reading cycle.
I would also strongly recommend that before taking the head unit out that you disconnect the battery negative following the procedure here - and secondly, always remove the quadlock connector first before the other connectors and re-connect it last.

Re: C5 X7 rt4 , cd stuck inside
So first thing happened when i tried to change the hard drive, the cd drive didn't work after that
I couldn't change the hard drive either, i used a ide44 pin to compact flash adaptor and a compact flash , actually 2 adaptors, i know what slave/master means
i put everything as it was
Cd player still dead
After 2 weeks or so the unit died
Now showing citroen logo , i think is trying to boot from hard drive and it's just rebooting and cd drive sounds like clixk clixk click , and reboots
The hard drive works, as i connected it to my laptop, no problems at all, no bad sectors
Used "dark mode button" no chance
Used those 2 white buttons under the unit nothing
I'm just assuming the ribbon cable that connects the hard drive and cd drive to the motherboard is broken somewhere
Any ideas?
