Dvd door allways hard to open now will not open at

Combo units have this essential flaw--if one half fails you are usually done especially if the DVD side fails.

If Door does not open either a disc is jammed inside the mechanism or the mechanism is out of alignment or damaged.

Good argument against buying these units--DVD individual parts are rarely sold--only (if available) would be the entire DVD unit itself--not cost effective to repair.

DVD players are now real cheap (see some for as little as $20) so if not a simple jammed disc or something like that buy a DVD player.

One simple solution is to unplug the unit for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Worked like a charm for me.

The problem is the micro switch that opens the door is allways on.... try press it 10 or 20 times to unlock the switch or try to clean it.... It will work for sure.

remove the top of the case carefully and see what the door is caught on, or remove whatever debris might be there( hair, dust, etc) use q-tips and toothpicks to get the hard to reach places

same problem piece of junk

You probably need a new dvd belt it is 24.25 mm rectangular. or it could've slipped off. Take off cover and move white wheel with teeth very gently until dvd tray starts to open then you can gently pull on it only pull it half way out and look in center of where dvd would normally be. There you will see the bigger and smaller wheels that control dvd player. look around for the belt. Make sure power is off when you do all this.

I had the same problem before.  I found a loose rubber ring which drives the door open/close may be the cause.  Use honey wax or candle wax to wax the ring will be most likely to solve the problem.  The only thing is you need open the box by yourself.

Mine just did the same thing about 1/2 hour ago. Found this site and tried advice of gopackgo - worked perfectly!

The codes for a combo set are found in the DVD settings or the VCR settings. Try the rca codes for DVD or Vcr and it should work. Although you may find that not all the functions will work properly ( ie: fast forward, open door, etc ). Good Luck
