so i have an avic-z1 that the eject button seems to do nothing.

 

i've tapped it, held it down and pushed about every combo of buttons with it and it wont move the face.  i know the face works cus it was tilted a bit in the car i took it out of.

 

also the tiny reset button seems to do nothing either.

 

 

anyway i saw in a thread about a manual eject slot "on the bottom" but i'm not sure what that means.  i see nothing obvious to poke pry or spin to make the face come out or down so i can tear this thing apart and fix the button.

 

anyone have any ideas?

Here are the pages from the service manual that show the tear down. See page 1 to manually open the screen.

ahh ok i tried turning that but it seemed awfully tight.   i managed to get this unit opened once by pressing extremely hard on the eject button.  i didnt risk closing it before i have a chance to fix it
