Lite On DVD recorder 5005 tray will not open - Lite On Computers & Internet

Us a paperclip in the small hole on the front of the drive ..

Most likely you need to replace the drive, they are very cheap on ebay. Here is how to replace it 1st power up and open tray then unplug. remove front of tray, it unclips at bottom, pull out and up then slides off. remove screws and take the entire drive out. Remove base plate of replacement drive and screw down into the two rear mountings. Remove facia of Recorder and cut out the three little pieces of moulding directly above where the tray drawer will be, this prevents the drive from being forced down at the front. With facia off fit the drive back onto the now screwed down base plate. Replace facia, connect drive power up and open drawer then unplug. On the drawer front cut off the centre small moulding because it doesn't line up with the cut outs in the drawer, the other two do, slide the front downwards onto the drawer then press at the bottom till it clips in. Job done. My 5005 now reads much faster and recognises all discs prior to this Invalid Disc on everything, cleaned lens and it would then only see pre-recorded films etc but no blank discs.

Have you tried putting a blank CD in it?

Remove the cover of LVW and access the dvd assy,unscrew the 4 screws holding the dvd assy to the LVW bottom.

You will access the dvd spindle.
Remove the dvd stuck inside.

Unplugging the power chord to unit for sometime (around 20 - 30 minutes) and plug back the power chord .
After that press the eject button for 30 seconds at times this may work and you can get back the dvd from the player .

something like this is a physical problem. you should contact the manufacturer to see if there is a manual eject button and if not you will have to take it apart to get the disk.

what is a suitable replacement drive for a liteon lvw 5006

Open the drive (dont break it). Eject the tray, under the tray you should see a small belt drive. Replace the belt with a rubberband of approximatly the same size (a little smaller wont hurt). Re-assemble the drive and it should eject fine. Lite-On drives seem to go through these belts pretty quick, I have fixed hundreds this way. Never had one I fixed come back for the same problem.
