2000 Jetta CD Changer (in trunk) problem

The CD changer in my 2000 Jetta stoped working today. Worked fine yesterday, but stoped today. Here's what happened:
My wife changed out the CD's so that she could listen to her music today. After she was done, she put my CD's back in the magazine, and put the magazine in the changer. Later, she picked me up from work, and I hit the CD button and it displays "ERROR" on the readout on the front of the deck. The 1st thing I thought was she jamed the magazine in the wrong way, but when I opened up the changer, the magazine was in correctly. So I hit the eject button and all the changer does is make a real quiet click noise and then nothing.
I've done car stereo work in the past, but I don't think I want to rip the trunk apart just to get the changer out. Any suggestions?
BTW it's a 2000 Jetta GLX with the Monsoon stereo package.
Thanks
