The dvd player does not pull in the disc, it feels like the player is too little, the disc has to be pushed in. It does not spin when I push in the disc.

Sometimes DVD player drawers get stuck closed because the disc inside isn't seated properly. At other times the player may have another problem. The first step in discovering if it is the disc or another issue is to remove the disc. Most DVD players have a secret eject button. It allows you to open the drawer when a disc gets stuck and cannot be ejected normally.
For this you'll need a standard size paperclip.

1. Unfold the paperclip and make it as straight as possible.
2. Look closely at your DVD player . Push the tip the paper clip into the small hole on the tray cover on the front of the Toshiba. The hole is on the right side of the cover.
3. Press inward gently with the paperclip until you feel a slight resistance, then continue pushing to engage the internal eject button. The tray should pop open partway.
4. Gently pull the drawer until it's fully retracted. Be careful not to pull too far.
5. Remove your disc from the drive.
6. Before you reinsert another disc, use the remote and/or buttons on the player to close the door, and reopen it. You can also press carefully with your fingers. If you cannot open/close the drawer normally at this point, do not put in a new disc until you have repaired the problem.

What You Need

Here are some options from best to worst and I recommend that you turn off the computer beforehand

Use a straightened paperclip and insert an end into the auto eject hole. (A little pinhole on the front of most disk drives)
Use a knife or flathead to pry the disk tray open.
If it doesn't have a tray you could use tweezers to pinch it out of there

I have pryed open disk trays before without issue

if you look on the top cover inside you should see a round plate that sit on the DVD when you close the cover if this plate press hard or loss it will not have the correct speed in this plate there is a clutch see if its not to lose
hope it will help

If the spindle motor wont spin the media upto speed it will never read the DVD, looks like you might need a new motor, take the lid off with the power OFF and see if this is the case if so then if you give it a little push with the power ON and it works then its a new motor required.

There will be a small hole in the front tray of the DVD, use a straightened paper clip, or similar stiff wire, & push it into the hole and gently push in, until you hear/feel a "Click" gently keep pushing 7 it should now come open,

One of the problems with many DVD players is as they get older the spindle motor is unable to overcome the inertia of the spindle + the disc.

If this is the case the read head will try to hunt for the start of the DVD if it is not spinning then it wont be able to find the DVD. If you can access the DVD by taking the cover off you can give the DVD a chance to spin by giving it a little push if the player can find the DVD then you can watch the movie.

If this is the case you will need a new spindle motor fitting to your player.

Did you make the disk if you made the disk your computer has to give it a digital signature so the DVD player can read it if you're using a regular DVD then I would very carefully using rubbing alcohol and Q tip clean the actual laser I would be very careful doing this if too much rubbing alcohol is on the Q tip it will ruin the laser you can also try resetting the DVD player by taking out the battery and unplugging it from any power source and leave it that way for at least 20 seconds to a minute if that doesn't work you might have something else wrong

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.

There is supposed to be a little plastic piece that pushes down a button that tels it that it that the door is closed that plastic piece is broken off. Look for it and glue a little piece of plastic on it, should fix it.

The reason the player will not play a disc is probably because the disc is not spinning. You need to power up the player and leave the dvd door open. Then push in the little switch that is normally operated by the dvd door but make sure you do not look directly at the laser. You should see the logo on the screen saying loading but the turntable is probably not turning. If this is the case, then the most likely cause is that the motor control chip inside the dvd is blown. This seems to be quite a common feature of these type of players.
