Just had this too on my 04 Avalanche. Pressing the eject button would make it whir but it appeared dead trying to put any cd in. Dealer said it would be over $1000 for a new unit as they're sealed. Balls to that. Took the unit out, removed the heatsink on the left hand side, which then gives access to be able to prize the top and lower metal plates off. I removed the facia too and unplugged the connectors to the boards inside. Removed the cd unit itself from the casing via 4 screws (i think!). I noticed the laser houseing which reads the cd was as if it was half way through reading a cd so i manually moved this back towards the outer casing along the long thread. Then I blew all over the place, slammed everything back together making sure all connectors were properly seated, and to my utter astonishment......it works! I'm thinking that a mechanical problem was causing the electronics to think there was still a cd in the drive. Either that, or maybe a jolt had loosened a connector. Hope this helps someone as I was miffed discovering the cd unit had not worked....radio was fine.... dealer didn't utter a word and I didn't think to check. Oh yes... pert number was Delphi Delco 12244929
