How to fix DVD drive tray that doesn open or eject

Go Video dvd vcr player dvd wont eject fix repair

If you take off the top cover you might find that a drive belt that moves the tray is either off or broken. They are cheap to replace you just need to measure the diameter in MM and then enter "drive belt XXmm" into Google go for the nearest size to your measurement.

It's likely a belt that drives the tray has snapped or come off! If you take the top off you might well see it!

when you hit the eject button try tapping the top above the disk drive. it may be somewhat stuck. if that doesnt fix it you might have a broken belt or a belt may have come off in it. the belt controls the movement of the drive in and out

you can either send it to the company's repair shop or get a portable keyboard

If your DVD Drive came with the computer originally your DVD Drive should have an emergency eject hole.

Kindly check the emergency eject hole just on top of the eject button you will see there a hole where you can poke using a paper clip.

Hi. Usually if this is the issue you can try this steps. 1. Make sure that you put the cable back on the way it was before. 2.When you turn the computer Go to Bios Set up F2 and check on the boot sequence if the DVD drive is detected . 3. Try to press the Eject button on the DVD while your still on the F2 option or BIOS. 4. If the DVD is not detected and won't eject on the BIOS and even if you re-seat again the cable it means that the DVD drive is already dead...

If you look on the dvd drive there is a little round hole. Just get a paper clip and straighten it out and stick it into that hole. There is a little button that you push with the paper clip that is a manual eject button for cases like this.

Hi there.
Get a large paperclip and straighten it out.
It the CD/DVD has a flap that drops down, pull that down.
Look very close at CD/DVD you will a very small hole on the face of the CD/DVD (usually near the eject button) push the paperclip right in that hole to manually eject the tray.


Good luck

1. right click on the drive. 2. press 'Eject' option. this will intern send the software interrupt to the drive to open it, if your cd-drive 'button' is not working. thanks.
