We show how to fix a DVD drive that won't open or eject. We firstly show how to open the drive using the emergency eject hole and then how to remove the drive belt. Once removed we show how to restore the belt using boiling water and recommend that the belt is measured so it can then optionally be replaced with a new belt. We show how to put the belt back on the drive and then test with power applied.

Sir, you just saved my BD/DVD computer drive. I applied the hot water treatment to the belt and put it back in and fixed it. Now the challenge will be to get a replacement. You're a Master.

Thanks for the video. I have a Plextor PX-130A that refused to eject (it's been sitting pretty much unused for 15+ years). I used the hot water trick, but I found that the main problem wasn't that the belt was sticky, it was that the belt had deformed around the small wheel such that the motor slipped when turning. Massaging the "pointy" bit of the belt while heating it and reinstalling the belt in a different position (making sure the deformed section doesn't rest around the motor wheel when the tray is closed) resolved the issue.

Some other similar videos show the case being opened, the belt removed, cleaned with IPA, & the inside of the drive & gears, pulleys, etc, getting cleaned & inspected as well. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you, i hope it was useful. I have found most drives can be fixed from the front and often well still installed in the computer. The best way is to replace the belt with a new one, the IPA is good for removing residue from the rollers if you have it available. I would not generally recommend taking the drives apart, unless experienced in do so and in which case the video would need to be more drive specific. I wanted to produce a video that would be possible to fix a drive with tools and house hold items.

Well done bro.. liked.. Qs. Won't the boiling water make the rubber belt more loose and slip with the gears?

@MerciaSolutions 2 жыл бұрын

Often the rubber has become tacky and sticks to the rollers, the boiling water helps to rejuvenate the band but is only a temporary fix. Though the best solution is to completely replace the belt and while it’s off you can measure the belt to get the appropriate size to replace it with.

@@MerciaSolutions Anyway I just did some research and found out that rubber actually shrinks on heating.. So, I suppose immersing it in boiling water would actually help the cause.. shrink it and grip more..

Do you do repairs. I am not good at takings belts off and on. Are you able to help. I'm in Warwickshire.

Hi Sarah, it would be more cost effective for you to replace the drive with a new one, though maybe a local IT shop can help?

Where can I buy the eject tool?

@MerciaSolutions 10 ай бұрын

Hi I’m not sure, some of the plextor drives used to come with the tools. A Allen key will work well as an alternative.

hey i damaged hole and still cannot open help me pls

@MerciaSolutions Жыл бұрын

Hi Zuka, if the emergency eject doesn't function, then the drive will need to be removed from the computer and the cover taken off the drive. The tool used to press the eject can require a reasonable amount of force initially to open the drive draw. Also make sure you are not holding the drive draw shut while pressing using a tool to eject the drive. hope this helps.
