Power button will not switch of plus disc drawer will not open,usb port not reading.

I had the same problem. It opened when I gave the reciever a slight lift and let it dropp, after I pressed the Reject Button. It's not a solution but at least it's open.

With the price of dvd players and yours bieng 6 years plus it make more sense to just buy a new one.

Hello Darryl121,

A couple things to check to resolve this would be:

1. Make sure the USB port is selected in the printer driver.

2. Make sure the printer is in the correct mode. (with the drawer open, hold down the button - this toggles the modes)

3. Re-install the printer by deleting it in printers and faxes and uninstalling USB printing support in the Device manager. Click and scan for hardware changes, re-install.

If these solutions do not work, we can offer more support via our support line @ 800-553-8312 option 2

The most likely cause is damage, which should be seen with the eye. It could be a belt, broken cogs/teeth in the sledge mechansim, or a micro leaf switch bent out of place.

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.

they button maybe stuck or the switch that open the cd player sticking try to push button to open then pull on drawer not to hard u brack then see if u can clean swith

Your player lens needs to be cleaned by a lens cleaner...

I have a Compaq Presario desktop running XP Media Center. The DVD tray would open on power up, and kept openinig when pushed shut.

I discovered that the tray would frequently remain closed when I held open the flap (the flap with the open button). A few days after discovering this, I got to add some more tracks to my MP3 player - I only mention this intermediate stage in case it is material in curing the problem, as the next thing that happened was a power failure whilst the PC was on. Since then, the CD/DVD drive has behaved perfectly. I did have a temporary problem with AVG INternet Security being unable to load the necessary DLLs to run correctly in MS Outlook 2003, even complaining of a corrupt installation, but this dissappeared after a proper restart and AVG update.

So,
Compaq users: try holding the flap open when you attempt to close the tray.
Generally: with PC running and all applications closed, switch the power off at the wall socket.

hello marc you have a dirty laser,blocked sensor or even a misaligned condition try this clean the lens put a disc and turn it off with the tray inside wait about a minute and turn it on saludos

Don't know if this will work for you, but I unplugged the player then plugged it back in again whlie holding down the power button. The player did not power up until I released the power button and pressed it again. That did it.
