Thank you very much for the video. Was very helpful. I fixed mine. Saved the environment.

Great video! Instead of an elastic band, you can buy a thin "O" Ring of the appropriate size and it will last much longer. Thanks a lot !!!

This video helped me get my DVD out of my RCA stereo system! Thank you very much

Thank u for u r help ......I am not a DVD repair guy but I repaired my DVD with no cost , thank for u r video

Thank you! I did not know about the slot at the bottom and once I nudged the tray out, which had been pushed in too hard at an angle, it will open and close. I'm happy!

Thank you for posting this video, I fixed my DVDs player tonight and it works!!!!

Ha! I took off the top and front panels. Poked the button to eject on inside a couple of times and VOILA, it is now working. Took 5 min. Thank you so much!

I'd like to thank you for being so helpful with Always a fix!!! You Rock 😉

This Best Repair Ever! I Fix in 2 DVD Player Thanks -Ekrem

First i found your very useful video about opening PS3 Blu-Ray disc drive cause i have to clean lens and when tray in my home cinema won't eject i have found this. Thank you very much your videos are very helpful.

thanks, this video helped me big time

Do you have any input or a link to a Tascam rack mount cd player issue is- plug it in and tray ejects on it's own.Get tray back in and comes right back out.So, cd player not dvd player tray open closes on it's own all the time.

This video save my money thankssss

Thanks for posting this. Mine started to fail this week, now I at least have a chance to fix it myself which I always like to try to do : )

I appreciate the help getting the cd out but I went to Best Buy and just bought another one in open box . It works great.

Thanks for your video. Kept me from buying a new one.

DVD players in 2010: I can last decades Blue Ray Players 2023: I cant last a year

this looks really helpful but i don't trust myself with dismembering a DVD player so I kinda just poked the drive a couple times and it worked so, thanks.

How do u pop open the tray? Mine doesnt have a gear and the bottom has no holes to stick up a screw driver as shown.

Great video!! Our belt was actually on and working fine. We removed the two screws in order to see the motor and belt and I believe the magnetism from that top piece is not allowing the door to open. Do you have a video or steps to check next if the belt is working? I've got a Phillips HTS3450/37. TIA!

Our LG 3-Disc Changer Component is not ejecting the disc, worse it has no activity inside (the disc is not rotating), this tutorial will help me to get confidence in opening our unit and hopefully fix it to save money.

Luckily my Phillips 3D blu-ray dvd player has that slot in the bottom! Thank you for this video! Very helpful!

It worked for me, thank you! (Philips blu-ray player BDP-7700)

Thanks for sharing this. I fixed my recorder thanks to you

Perfect repair, I would remove the metal watch and and chain as a safety factor ,easily short something.

so freaking amazing I cant believe I did my own at home. thank you so much for this video

thanks 👍👍 very useful video

thanks, man! worked like a charm.

Thank you,very much!

Very easy fix. Thanks.

Thank you this worked on my blu ray player

Where did you get the replacement belt? I need on for a SLV-D251P

Are the dvd players inside PC's and laptops similar? I have a non-ejecting drive in my laptop, although it looks like it might have a micro dent in the metal frame surround which could be preventing Auto Eject. Excellent clear video, well done, and Thanks.

My DVD player stop working it ejects to put dvd in there and closes but once the dvd is in there it starts reading the disc but nothing happens and it won’t allow me to stop or eject it until I turn the whole system off . Could it be that it needs a laser cleaning ? Or what do you think

Wow, Terrafic video! Thanks I'm going to open my car DVD player which doesn't eject, I wish it has same eject mechanism (BMW DVD player)

I was suspecting it was a belt on my Apex DVD player. Mine was located in the front and had to remove a small top cover to access. Thanks for the video.

Thank you buddy u help me a lot.

Subscribed!!

I found an old DVD player in my house and wanted to test it and the first part where you manually release it fixed it

Where did you get that new belt? I inspected mine and it seemed to be good but it's still not ejecting. I tried an O ring that I bought from home depot but returned it. It did not do the job. I have rubber bands but they are not tight enough. I did notice you got a similar elastic belt band for yours. Where? 🤔

I wish that was the problem with this Phillips player I'm working on... As soon as I remove the metal cover from the top, it ejects no problem. Put it back on, no more ejecting. There's no dents, no visible strain on anything, etc. Before I popped the cover, I was sure it was the belt... No clue how to fix this! lol

Where/how does the spring that lifts (I think that's it's job?!) the DVD to the lens? Mine popped off. It takes DVD, spins, but says insert disc

Thank you so much

An elastic band fix that dvd player thats cool. Most ppl throw dvd player away and buy new one but that fix it thats cool

I hope you read still comments on the old videos. Have the same DVD Player built into a DUAL "multi-thing". 99% sure it has the same problem. Unfortunately no emergency release slot at the bottom. Is there any chance to release the tray from above? All other components are stacked on top of the player. I have access from above, to replace the drive belt, but need to open the tray first. To take the player out would mean take everything apart, disconnecting tons of ribbon cables. Can do, if I have to, but it will be a nightmare. Thanks in advance and yes your are right - there is always a fix. Greetings from Germany! Andreas

Great video! Thanks for sharing. How much repair shops usually charge for such malfunction?

Will you Pl guide me the reason and solutions to my LG Model RH 277H DVD Recorder which is not playing and showing only Pl wait... Doesn't start why?? Which components needs to rectify??

Thank you soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

thank you

Thank you my dvd solved

Any suggestions on fixing one from the outside? I have an old box tv with a dvd player attached.

Thank you so much for your help! I also had to remove the dvd upper bracket to get better access. In my case the belt was off but still in proper condition, so I just reattached it and it works!

Do these players typically have sata compatible connectors?

+alwaysafix My sharp 3in 1 stereo wont open the 3 disc drawer & is showing ER on the lcd display,is this likely to be a problem with a drive belt ? & do u think the ER (error) will stop if i replace the belt or could it be a separate fault? Help as its driving me crazy & i have 3 of my favorite cds stuck inside the stereo 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

Thanks

I have an HP DV1000 laptop that the CD drive draw will not open, I have to keep hitting the button to get it to open. I don't want to take the laptop all apart to get it out. What could be causing this problem?

Thank you.

I have a 3d DVD player and won't read disc or open or close what should I do ?

very very thanks

Thanks sir

who knew a rubber band would be so useful?lol

Thanks, maybe this is also my problem. I have a Basic DVD of Brand Philips model 3160k / 55. And when I try to open the tray to put a DVD film, it does not open but it has a strange sound.

Hii sir my dvd is automatically opening and closing continuously not reading the cd plz reply.

2:52 i cant even push it open, and doing the emergency thing with the paperclip does not help. (Edit: It somehow fixed itself when i accidentally bumped into it...)

I love this fix.... The video player seemed very small untell you take it apart and realize they could have made that thing much smaller... there is nothing inside lol

Nice fix.. Where did you get the replacement belt?

thanks. I hope this me

thnks buddy

I don't have that down cut section So I can't bring the tray out Plz help me

I didn't look hard enought for the emergency eject. I only wanted to troubleshoot a DVD that wouldn't play on my laptop and ended up with the thing apart, before watching your video.

I can"t get my tray to come out i have my dvd disc out so i can"t find where the belt is connected on my Philips
