When I put a dvd in and hit the close button it keeps spitting the dvd door open. Its like the little slider that has the red light on it that recognizes that a dvd is loaded is not back far enough so that the red sensor can detect the dvd. I opened the unit and it seems like the little slider with the red sensor on it does not slide all the way back after the dvd door is opened. If you push it all the way back and close the dvd door, it loads, the red sensor comes on and the dvd door stays shut and the dvd will start playing. If I eject the dvd and the door opens, the slider only goes part of the way back. If I close the dvd now, it spits the door back open. If I push the slider all the way back again then close the door the red sensor comes on and the dvd starts to spin and play. Does anyone know what part I can order to get the slider thing to go all the way back so when the dvd door is shut the sensor can detect the dvd? or what I can do so that the slider goes all the way back on its own?
It is called the slider assy. The slider moves the laser assy back to home or start position. It is a small belt underneath or there is gunk or hair in the gear mechanism. A very common problem with CD/DVD players/recorders. Very good though that you saw it was not comming back to home place. I wish I had a manual to assist you but I do not. Im telling you the most common problems with the slider mechanism. Good Lck
