Mend Vauxhall

My Meriva shows 10 safe but i cannot get bleep?

My meriva 2004 shows 10 safe on the stereo i have been on loads of forums and done what it states, been through my book and even took it to vauxhall garage this morning and they cannot get it to bleep to enter the code which i have. Vauxhall therefore want to charge me a ridiculous amount of money to take a look at it, and also state that it cannot just be replaced with another stereo it will need unlocking. Any ideas out there i have also checked all fuses to solve this problem would be brill so any ideas please let me know.

To give you some idea of how long you'll have to wait before you can attempt re-entering the code if you do get it wrong:- (and by wait, that means having to leave the key in the ignition, turned to position one, and the stereo switched on as well)

Attempt 1 - wait 10 secs. (Display shows 10SAFE)
Attempt 2 - wait 10 secs. (Display shows 9SAFE)
Attempt 3 - wait 10 mins. (Display shows 8SAFE)
Attempt 4 - wait 20 mins. (Display shows 7SAFE)
Attempt 5 - wait 40 mins. (Display shows 6SAFE)
Attempt 6 - wait 80 mins. (1 hr 20 mins) (Display shows 5SAFE)
Attempt 7 - wait 160 mins. (2 hrs 40 mins) (Display shows 4SAFE)
Attempt 8 - wait 320 mins. (5 hrs 20 mins) (Display shows 3SAFE)
Attempt 9 - wait 640 mins. (10 hrs 40 mins) (Display shows 2SAFE)
Attempt 10 - Time to re-write the bin - on the eeprom (Display shows 1SAFE)


turn the radio off, hold the AS button turn the radio on and keep holding the AS button you will then be able to enter the code.
