The DVD player keeps opening and closing and won't play/load DVD's. What could be the problem?

There are little gears to open the tray with a little rubber belt that drives it you should be able to open door and pull on tray to get disk out if not unplug it take top off push tray out Cheapper to replace player than to fix but little flap should pull down grab tray and pull

Often the tray is powered by a rubber belt. If the latter breaks or slips the try will not open/close. The motor will work and tell the electronics that all is well because it has done its job but it really hasn't since the tray is inert!

It sounds that the laser pickup unit of the DVD player have damaged. Check and replace it.

It won't play for one of two reasons:
1. There is something inside the DVD player, which keeps it from playing.
2. The DVD player's battery has run out of juice and can no longer play, meaning the player needs to be replaced.

Either a mechanism problem or a problem with the Optical unit inside (optical pickup) being dirty or bad.

Go to default programs set your DVD player to open and auto start all video. So that when you place a DVD or CD in the drive it will auto load without you having to keep right clicking and opening the video. What may be happening is you may be clicking to open to many times and it has to catch up to open the video possibly. I would go that route and see if this fixes the matter. John

If the door does not close either something ( a coin or anything) got inside or there is a issue with the mechanism= alignment or possible bad part in that mechanism that loads and positions the disc.

A suggestion when door opens try to take a quick look inside with a flashlight to see what you can.

Hello
The loading mechanism to your player is faulty. It doesn't engages the disc in to place perfectly. Replace the loading mechanism.

my dvd on my combi is not loading it just says loading when you press the close button please advise thanks

Hi there,

Although no guarantee, this 'region hack' is rumoured to work:

1. Place the DVD player into 'standby' mode.

2. Using the Sony remote, press the following button sequence: Title; Clear; Power (green button); 0 (zero button)

3. Using the remote, Open the disc tray, then close again.

Now insert your disc and attempt to play - allow up to 2mins to load/play. If no response, open/close tray and try playing disc again.


Cheers,
