If you forced it past the position sensors, then you messed it up. Resynch the internal onboard contoller.

The remote to my RCA
You could try a universal remote (if one is available which will provide most functions to your player, such as STOP/PLAY etc.).
You can try a simple test on your existing RCA remote to see if it provides a 'frequency pulse'. Turn a radio on, select a black section of the AM band (not FM) turn volume up halfway, place remote near it, listen for pips and noises from the speaker(s) - if this occurs, the remote itself is OK. This is the cheapest idea to try first before going out and buying a new remote.
* If the unit does not respond to the universal (regardless of whether a
remote code is required or not) then the IRD within the unit itself and
its associated controller circuit may have failed (hence why the remote
does not work). Repair of this requires a qualified workshop technician (because of the many surface-mounted components in the IRD controller circuit). *
But try the original remote-to-AM-radio test and/or purchase a universal remote or similar if necessary.
No power
Is the fuse located before or after the main power switch?
If the answer is before the main switch, then maybe you should also check the main power switch (dirty contacts - these may cause insufficent voltages from the power supply).
Note that the (electrolytic) capacitors can be faulty but will not have visible damage, so check the DC voltages on the power supply output and try to replace the associated capacitors if the voltages seem to be too low (usually, there will be 12 and 5 volts outputs, sometimes a 3 volt output on some brands/models).
If it turns out that these voltages are not present at all, then there may be damage to the transformer driver IC (i'm assuming this is a switching power suply) - see if there is any AC voltage present at the secondary terminals of the transformer, if there is none, then the primary is most likely not being driven by the 110 V and this points to the driver IC as the possible cause. It may also be some other component in the primary section, but you said you've checked them out, so i don't know what else to suggest.
Hope you can fix it.

Have you already tried to clean the laser pickup lens?
If not, then maybe you should try (there are youtube videos explaining it).
If the unit has been operating for a few years or so and if cleaning the lens doesn't solve anything, then the next most likely problem is the spindle motor which needs to be either cleaned (which is a bit difficult) or replaced (which is either less difficult than cleaning or entirely impossible). The other motor that can cause problems is the slide (laser pickup position) motor, but if the buildup of the disk mechanism makes it impossible to replace the motor(s), then unfortunately the only solution is to replace the entire disk mechanism.

I can't hear people talking when i watch a movie?
I had the same problem and found that there was a connection problem with the center speaker. Do a sound check on all speakers and see if the sound is coming out of the center one. If not then just check you have connected it properly.
How do I conenct player to tv

My RCA DRC 220 Dvd Players disc tray does not want to close
It seems that the track (carriage) is proberally damaged or needs cleaning, open it out and have a look at the track that takes in the disc if it has dust clean it out or you can open and close it bu hand to get it loose a bit.
If that dont work the motor that pulls in the track or sends it out has a band on it, it might be slack or worn or even dried up and lost elasticity, test it by pulling it in and out a few time to see if it snaps, if you think its worn are slack replace it with a rubber band or a smaller size to the band...
the last think to check is the motor it self.if the abose fails you'll need to change the motor
Language Selection for RCA DRC 220N
try to find an original remote in a pawn shop, sometimes they have extra remotes because broken dvd players, or other reasons they only know.
I have an rca dvd
you can do 1 of 2 things ,you can buy a cheap universal remote and program it to your brand of player,once doing that you can hit the menu button and there should be a setting for language and you canswitch it to another language ,or there should be a menu button on the front of the player just push that and try different buttons on the front to be able to scroll thru your options.
Black and white screen only on DSTV?
RCA video cables handle analog signals. HDMI cables carry digital video signals. You need a converter. If you are using a component video converter, check if you swapped two of the three RCA video cables. (There are some A/V projectors that can do the translation of RCA and HDMI internally. Most TVs do not.)
I hope this helps.

(One of my family's TVs used a dongle to condense the analog video signal to a single port, swapping blue and green gave a black and white output, IIRC.)
I have an RCA re20qp80 remote that the mute button doesn't work
Most modern tv remotes are not normally designed to be repaired. You will possibly need to replace it. there are plenty of cheaper after market version that will do the job just as well. Your other option, and yes I know this is a silly answer, when you want to mute the TV is to simply press the volume down button to zero then turn it back up when you want sound.
