I have a Philips CDR820 CD recorder/3 CD changer. The CD tray won't stay in. I push the load/close button, but it closes and then immediately opens again. Won't stay closed. Not sure what to...
I have done this job. taking that think apart can be a pain.
There is probably a switch, that is pressed, and senses the closing or status of the tray,
and it keeps resetting. It could be a leaf switch, that would be lucky.
It could be an encased switch. You would need an exact replacement in that case.
The leaf switch could just need to be cleaned with a folded dollar bill.
Its perfect for cleaning a couple of contacts, and its not destructive.
Its a shame to throw something like that away, for such a small problem.
Maybe you could sell it at a garage sale to some kid after you tell 'em what the problem is.
Point being, taking that kind of thing apart, and putting it back together again, might not be worth the stress that goes with it. I've done it because I am POOR, and if I had money, I wouldn't go through that aggravation.
