The Bang & Olufsen Beogram CDX, CDX2 and CD3300 CD players are likely to have issues with the CD player lid not being able to open. Often the main cause of this problem is a broken gear for the lid mechanism. The gear is often damaged and teeth worn off, resulting in a lid that cannot open or close automatically.
