  • I bought another drive took the top board out put it in mine. Now to open it take paper clip push in front small square hole till door releases.
  • It's quite likely the belt which drives the tray is stretched, as was mine in my Samsung drive. Just open the drive, locate the tray motor and remove the small white pulley. Replace it with a slightly larger one from an old cd-rom drive and it should work like new again.
  • There is a small surface mount chip ( Location U16) on the control board , under the disc mechanism that has possibly failed. Come across two now with the same problem, all voltages trace back to that one chip being defunked!
  • There is a small hole under the disk tray that lets you manually open it with a paperclip or something small like that
  • I took the belt out and clean it, lube the gears with oil and all is well. I think replacing the belt may work, as I noticed my was a little loose, so i am looking into finding a replacement belt just in case I run into the problem again. Does anyone know where to find them.
