Audiolab Omnia - CD problem

[Ma6s]

Hi all!
Got myself an Omnia 2y ago at a great price and been really enjoying it. Bought it in sweden, took it down to my vacation place in France. Now, the CD tray is not opening, display just say eject for few seconds and nothing happens. No mechanical sound, nothing.

Not sure what to do and looking for advise. Not gonna take it on a flight back (reseller stopped working w Audiolab) and Audiolab has not been helpful at all - ”bring it in to you local dealer” reply.

What can you do? Force open it? Open up the box?

So far resets, firmware update - nothing helps.

I really dont know… nothing indicated a disk is in, display just say CD, and no disk

An Audiolab retailer in France should be able to help. I presume you've switched off, unplugged from the wall and left it for a while?

Possibly broken cog or rubber band?

That's what to do first.

It has been the cause of eject problems on Philips mechanisms for some of us.
This was mine:

But in those cases you still hear the eject motor trying - you heard nothing.

Look inside and go from there....

What's the warranty like on this bit of equipment??

Yes, tried all that. But yes, have to find a retailer I guess

Oh wow, yeah I can prob open it up, warranty out anyway. But yes there is no mechanical sound at all so feels like something else.
