Happened to me too. Got it replaced under warranty and they mail your CDs back. As far as I know it's the only real way. :/


Sent from my laser.

Not for sure
I'd take the radio apart if it were me and see if something is jammed. But I'm also not afraid to tear down electronics

I don't mind taking it apart was hoping someone knew a way to reset it. Looks like new radio in my future.

I can't remember, but there's a way to run a sound/function test by pressing and holding two buttons, but it won't reset it. Unhooking the battery was your best bet. You can definitely take it apart and get them out, but it's not unlikely that it will happen again. Fortunately for you, not many people love the Shaker 500s, so I'd break that bitch with a hammer, get your CDs out, and then get a new one on eBay for like $50.

I Know but I hate how I have to reload every CD its a pain in the ass but atleast I dont really use it anymore and since my radio doesnt work either I use my Ipod.
