98 LC Navigation DVD STUCK

[STUMPY_AHM-ED]

The navigation screen shows "No disk detected " I tried to eject the DVD from under the passenger seat, but the slit opens up and the DVD does not come out. I've tried to put a DVD (non nav) in the opening that opens up when you slide the open tab... but nothing!

Any help or advise would be appreciated

Thanks!

I have a "no disk detected" error. Is there a procedure for ejecting the disk? When I press the eject button nothing happens.

After reading about this on club Lexus.com it appears that there's a $2 motor that causes the error. There's a pretty good write up on replacing it DIY.
