The tray on my samsung dvd r160 will not open. There isn't a small hole to stick a pin in and open manually. I've taken the case off but can't see anything out of place John

Sounds like mechanical problem A loose loading belt, or a damaged gear wheel can cause this. Contact any service technician.

if you look on the drawer you will see a little hole.push a pin in the hole and the drawer will open.

Some DVD players will have a small hole the size of a pin somewhere on the front. This is like a manual release. Find something really thin (like a pin or needle) and stick it in there, the DVD tray should pop open.

Generally there is a small hole under the tray. (The tray is where the disk sits in)

You may have a eMachines desktop computer, where there is an outer door which flips down, and the tray slides out.
Ease the outer door down, and see if the optical drive unit (CD/DVD drive) has a small hole under the tray.

If not then unplug the computer from power, observe Anti-Static Precautions, and open the computer case. Remove the Front Panel. (Plastic front of computer. Now remove the optical drive, and open it up.

I need the Model Number of your eMachines to be more detailed.

Look at the dvd tray there should be a small pin hole. Use a paper clip and push it into the pin hole and the dvd tray should pop open.

Try this, look for a small hole on the front of the unit.Use a pin and press in to see if it opens,ejects the disk .If no hole try seeing if you can press ,lift,pull at the door/slot while pressing the open door/eject either on the unit or with the remote control.It sounds like you may have a bad CD/DVD (copy) that the unit is trying to read/load but can't. keep trying to eject CD/DVD if this doesn't work unplug unit for 5 minutes,try open door again do press and hold open repeatedly I know it's frustrating but it just may eject.Don't use this recorder for playback of DVD buy a $30 DVD player the cheaper the better they play anything.GOOD LUCK

There should be a manual open button on the front of the drive. Look on the face for a small indent of hole. You will need a pin or something small. Stick it in there and gently push it and it should pop the tray out. Let me know if you have any trouble or can't locate it.

is a small hole in front of dvd internal case, you need a opened paper clip,and push in slowly, and release the dvd mec.

OST DVD PLAYERS HAVE A SMALL PIN HOLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DVD TRAY. IF SO, STICK A PIN OR A THIN WIRE IN THE HOLE. THIS WILL TRIGGER A SWITCH TO OPEN THE TRAY.

there should be a small pin hole in the draw of the dvd, put a pin r paperclip in the hole and push to manually open it.
