There are some ideas in the link, but you probably need an audio tech. RCA are a fairly 'budget' unit.

What is the model number of your DVD player? You may try power resetting the unit and check if it helps. To power reset, turn OFF the DVD player and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet for 30 seconds. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet and turn the player ON. Attempt to open the disc tray.

Depending on the model number of your DVD player, simultaneously press the POWER + STOP + EJECT buttons. If the disc tray still does not open, simultaneously press the DISC1 + STOP + EJECT buttons.
NOTE: This step may not apply to all models as DISC1 is not available on all DVD players.

If this does not work and if the DVD player has DISPLAY and PREV buttons, press and hold the DISPLAY+PREV buttons for two seconds to unlock the drawer.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

THis happens when the drawer is jammed. Turn off the unit and turn it on and then use the disc skip from the remote so that the cds inside will change and then press the Open button.

when you turn it on, does the splash screen come up on the TV?. if not, the players capacitor might have a bulge. to get the disk out, locate the small hole or slot on the back or bottom, and push a straight paper-clip in it, and the drawer should pop out enough to get your disk.

Disc drawer will not open with either the button on the set or the remote control. Display shows "open" the changes to "no disc"

Press the power button on the main unit to switch the unit to standby. When the unit is in standby , press the power button again on the main unit to turn it on. If the unit doesn’t switch to standby, press and hold the power button on the main unit for about 10 seconds to forcibly switch it to standby.

To open the drawer, press and hold STOP and CH UP buttons on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds.

Try cleaning the glass laser eye lens with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. If cleaning doesn't work, you may want to change or laser eyee unit.

unplug the unit and wait 5 minutes and plug it back in. See if that helps
