The door of my Toshiba SD-4990 won't open. it just reads "open", stays closed, then reads "load", and continues to play the DVD inside. I can't get the DVD out.
Hey this is a great site! I was having a similar problem with my Toshiba SD-K860. Bobbyj, thanks for the link to the SD-4900 service manual, it was extremely helpful even though it was a different model. I could not find an emergency eject pinhole, and leaving the unit unplugged for a while did not help (two suggestions found on other sites), so I simply took the whole thing apart, got the disc out, found the eject slider on the bottom of the tray, massaged the tray open and closed, and put everything back together again. The connections were solid and the belt was in tact so everything seemed to be fine. Once I reassembled and powered it back up it worked again! I posted a more detailed solution on my problems to solve site, which is similar to this one: http://problemstosolve.com/solved/toshiba-sd-k850-wont-eject-solved/
try this:-
Power On, then push eject several times, whilst applying a slight pressure to the left and right hand sides of the Drawer.
If the drawer has jammed, i,d suggest using A Blunt Knife ( Butter Knife et,c ) and gently prising the top corners of the drawer, whilst pushing eject/open on the remote or control panel.
If all else fails, dismantle the drive. And remove the disk manually.

The DVD plays normally for 15-20 minutes and then it just stops as if the Stop button had been pushed. Occasionally, the screen breaks up as if the pixels are getting turned off and on.

I had a DVD player Toshiba SD 4000. The video output doesnt work, and Im watching the movies by another output, Yx is the name of the output. I went to see an electronic and he told me that was probably that my DVD lost it program, and that I need a number to fix it, but I dont have it. Now Im watching movies real bad, the image is distorsioned in some movies, sometimes when I put VCDs it works well, but not when I put DVDs. I change to free zone already (0) but still I have the same problem. If you could give me the code, or a place where to find it I will aprecciate, or if my DVD had another problem. Thakns for all.
