Default Load button stuck

The Load button on my Mark Levinson radio is stuck. Car is out of warranty. There are no cd's stuck inside, but I cannot load anything in. Is there anything I can do or anywhere I can send it to be fixed.

How is it stuck? Is it from something you spilled on it, or is the button got pushed in too hard?

You can easily pull out the radio and pull apart the faceplate that eill expose the button and will allow you to inspect, clean and maybe repair if you have too. Worst case you can mail the radio to a radio repair shop. They usually charge from $100-$300 on repairs

I took the radio apart today. Apparently the previous owner had spilled coffee all over. I cleaned it up...and got movement from the button. However still nothing. I dont hear any movement and the door doesn't open to let me load a cd. Any other ideas.

Sounds like maybe something in the board is shorted out.
