How do you do a hard reset? I am not an electronic tech. I took the cover off, turned the recorder on and tried to eject again. Nothing. I don't know how to get the disk out of the tray. Do I have to take the front off too? How do you release the tray manually?
What a coincidence. Mine broke again for the second time this year, and I only got around to taking it apart tonight.
After pulling the DVD drive out of the unit, look at the front of it. On the left side, under the drawer, mine has a curved indentation. When I press the eject button, I see this indentation depress by itself, but it apparently wasn't going in far enough. Just putting my screwdriver in that little indentation was enough to free it up.
Let's see how long it lasts this time!

I think I need to find a repair facility near me. Nothing is working that has been suggested.I think I need to find a repair facility near me. Nothing is working that has been suggested.

Thanks, I have a dvd recorder lvw 1105GHC and seems not to have any but the door. when I push the eject button i just hear the sound but not open the tray. So, I push the eject button and at same time pull out the plastic door tray with a nail. It worked this time
Remove the cover of LVW and access the dvd assy,unscrew the 4 screws
holding the dvd assy to the LVW bottom. Remove the top and bottom shield
(also 4 screws)and remove the top black plastic cover (4 screws). You
will access the dvd spindle. Remove the dvd
stuck inside.

your disc reader is dirty and needs cleaned..this can be done 2 ways.. one is to buy a can of electronic dusting spray, use the wand attatched to the nozzle .. stick the wand into the dvd slot and spray short bursts into the center area of the slot( dvds record and play from the center-out) the other is to find the screws that hold the cover on the unit(usually phillips head) and remove them..carefully remove the entire cover exposing the inner works of the recorder, again using the duter spray, clean the entire inside of the unit..paying close attention to the lens area of the reader..make sure not to blast it too hard and loosen the base..just enough to dust it off..then replace the cover and run the unit normally.. these units are quickly showing up at resale shops everywhere as folks are getting new digital recorders that record to a hard drive..so you may find a replacement there..I have several..
Had the same problem. took cover off, cleaned the recording heads. Also look on the left and right of casett chassie.You'll see to thin green strips sticking up with a black elctronic device. Chech to see if it is aimed at the clear plastic pin near the little black plastic gear in the middle. mine was out of alignment on the left one. Works know. Good luck
Thank you for the offer. I will bear it in mind should I need further assistance.
I solved the problem by removing the cover and loosen the clips where the disc tray is and slid the release tray and by pressing the eject button, the tray ejected the disc.
I have tried other discs by recording, deleting and ejecting and so far the problem has not been experienced again.
Kind regards.
The electronic procedure: Switch off the unit at the wall plug. On
the front panel, hold in the <RECORD> and <EJECT> buttons
at the same time, and keeping them held, switch on the power at the
wall again. Keep holding the buttons until the disc tray opens.
Error 2 and error 3 and error 4 are tech codes.
and if your unit won't reset, you can take it to your local
electronic repair shop. I had error 3 on my Phillips,
and he went to the PM webpage,researched it, and fixed it perfectly for $39.00 total. STILL WORKING!
He said it was some little thing to replace that took him 15 minutes.
If you don't want to buy one of the REALLY cheaply made vcrs or DVD/vcr combos that are out now, it worth a little phone time to find
an electronics repair shop. Or the new DVD recorders with vcr combos are very good, but sturdy ones are expensive.
By pressing the Power button for >10 seconds you can force the unit to turn off. Immediately as the unit does, press the disk eject button and the defective DVD can be removed. Don't put it back in, or the problem may repeat!
did u tried to press the eject button for a few seconds (~20sec) wait & see what will happen. or better you use a direct plug of AV adapter. maybe theres a need for additional power on your cam.
I am pursuing the exact problem above. I have found a not so hi tech solution. I firmly rap on the top above the disc drawer. This is while Close is being displayed and the drawer is in. If you hear some spinning and load displays it should now work. It may be back to cycling again on the next ejection though. Technically I figure it may be a sticky magnetic reed switch or what ever they use to detect the drawer position. Mine displays either open or close when it starts to cycle.
