Default MS-300 Issue

I am trying to load a couple of new discs that arrived today and I cannot get the disc drawer on my MS-300 to open. When I push the open/close button I hear the drawer try to cycle put it will not open. I did hold the power up button on the unit until went thru the blinking light cycle and again became solid. The drawer still will not open.

I tried calling McIntosh Service but they closed for the day at 4:30.

Try unplugging the unit and cycling it.

How about take the cover off and see if you can nudge it ever so slightly -- will mention plan 2 after you take the cover off & that doesn't do the trick (haven't tried this -- but saw a tech do this).

I am trying the unplugging first. If this does not do it I will have to remove the cover tomorrow. Having guests over for dinner this evening.

Thanks, Unplugging it did allow me to open the tray on the second push. It is still not working properly more like it has been for the last month or so. I will call Mac tomorrow.

For all the mechanics problems I read here and on other forums on McIntosh drives, I 'm quite sure that McIntosh will never see my money for a separate with a Cd drive in.
I hope your problem will be fixed shortly Jim.

I had a similar problem. I took the drive out of the unit, was able to push the button to release the door, put a tiny bit of lithium grease in a couple of spots, and it has been perfect for the last 8 months.
