Thumbs up Brain Surgery

So i had a custom labeled CD get jammed up in the Fjammer. Instead of fixing it, or attempting to get it warrantied, i picked up a free FJammer from a fellow forum member. Well, today i finally got around to pulling the old one out, and, i felt like taking it apart...


Step by step-ish:

After you pop the fascia off, you then pop the face plate off (there are tabs all around, just use a small flathead to lift them up..Its on there tight!)


Remove all the screws, and pop the silver plate off



The black piece on top with the toyota facotry label on it has a hinge in the back, so it just lifts up after the silver plate is removed




This is what happens to sticker-labels:





Gently remove the cd.. REMEMBER, everything inside there is very brittle, so no man-strength is necessary



Display the victim with honor




Viola!





So, now i have a spare FJammer, and the Original one is still spinning CD's for me It never hurts to do-it-yourself

Re: Brain Surgery

CD labels are bad....they will almost always peel when they get super hot.
Get a light scribe CD burner or print label directly to CD....
Anyways, good write up showing how to remedy.

Re: Brain Surgery

I have a light scribe but it is so ridiculously slow that I've quit using it. I've never had a problem with stick on labels but I prefer the CD/DVDs that come with a writeable side on them, but sometimes they are out of stock.

Re: Brain Surgery

Very nice Dom! Good job. I just use a Sharpie, but I like the light scribe idea. I'll have to look at that later...
