Go Video dvd vcr player dvd wont eject fix repair

Is this the 8.5" DVD player? If so it probably uses a standard mitsubishi, Sony or Toshiba player. Normally these don't have replacement parts for if your try to reorder. They tend to be made for one time usage and when broken you toss em out and purchase a new one.

my dvd player will not let me load a cd -- can "force: it in - takes it almost all the way then ejects it

Well, if its crammed in there from kids shoving stuff in there as kids will tend to do sometimes, then i am sorry to say, you most likely will need to get a new player. Cause general when something is jammed into disc slot, other components that are vital to operation have been compromised. But on the other hand. If it was working and operating fine one minute, and the next it simply just wouldn't eject. Your problem is one of the 2. Is the player making any noise as if it is trying to eject the disc but will not, and can you still at least play the disc and watch it since its already in there? If so. It sounds like you have a bad gear or a little spring that has popped that engages the gear to make the mechanism for disc ejection impossible. Or the main drive belt has dried and broke. Take it to a local tech. 2nd. If its not making any noise when eject button is pressed. The button itself might be bad. Try the remote controls eject button. If it has one, that might eject the disc. Hope this helps. And in tghe future, no paper clip tricks okay. Only damage can occure with that method. good luck,

Disconnect the power,push the eject button and connect the power while pushing the eject button.

there might be some compatibility problem . some times the dvd is not recognised by many players. not ot panic , just try ur dvd on some laptop to check whether there is problem in dvd or the system

Hi,

I have the same problem!

I can not figure the position of the spring.

Did you find an answer?

I made the same mistake and settled for the cheaper solution. Had nothing but problems with it check out: www.invisionindustries.com
Purchased the SL 7 for my wife’s Ford Edge and the Invision system is worth every penny! Best of luck.

the motor will not be strong enough to eject. you can try the emergency eject hole with a paper clip . just push straight in and the gears will began to turn so push straight in a couple of times and it should began to eject.
