What on earth does that mean ... ?

What *actual* fault condition is it showing ?

Arfa

All buttons on CD player appear to be depressed.

Well, there's your problem. Have you tried a selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor?

Maybe. It still doesn't help much, though. Bit like saying "my car made a
noise. What could it be ?" ...

Ok

But don't we on usenet regulary hold hands in virtual séance to attempt
to communicate with dead electronic spirits in the hope they may give up
the secrets why the operating power departed?

Got to meditate here cross legged and smoke a pipe.... Mmmmmmmmm.

Probably a missing voltage somewhere. Find a service manual and a DMM,
or a gifted tech guru.

It seems to me that if all the keys on CD transport played are pushed down,
the OP should start by trying to release them. Duh...?

I don't think that is going to be the issue, as the CD player is controlled
by tactile push buttons. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen a CD player
that used any kind of locking switches ...

DUH!

I guess I'm getting CD transports confused with cassette transports.

Nevertheless... What did the OP mean?

Indeed. Possibly a linguistic thing, as has also been suggested ?

Arfa

I would guess that the plastic "switch cap assembly" has been disconnected from the cabinet face. This is not an uncommon occurrance. Open up the case and re-attach the assembly. If it is not aligned with the tac switches, there will be no way to activate the CD.

This sounds like a problem that a little bit of plastic cement can fix.
