Hi Guys

Could try the sticky knife method, often a jammed CD can be retrieved with a thin butter knife wrapped with sticky tape.

- Get a thin butter knife and wrap it with a strong tape of your choice.
- Make sure you wrap so that the sticky part of the tape is on the outside of the knife.
- Insert the knife gently and try to attach the sticky tape to the top of the CD.
- Pull gently on the knife and ideally the jammed CD will come out attached.

It is highly likely that both CDs are scratched beyond retrieval, since they have been scraped together and against the works of the player. Just hope that your player's laser has survived so good luck! :happy2:
