Question about Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD Recorder

Tray will not open

Greetings, my Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD recorder tray will not open. I opened the unit, and the RUBBER BAND that drives the tray to open is broken. Can I buy replacement RUBBER Band anywhere? Thank you Pal369

changed a faulty capacitor as machine failed to start up one morning. Then found out after some tests that a capacitor had failed. Replaced it with a new one and everything was fine until I updated the Freeview channels now the dvd don't open or shut. It is telling me I must press remote to activate the dvd drive. Just wandering if anyone has had or heard of this problem. Also had to order a new remote control as mine is damaged but is it worth buying one or is the recorder totally broken and not worth wasting the money.

Thank you for your help, but like I stated, the rubber band, (belt) that drives the gear to open the tray is BUSTED. Found a place that sells them, will replace this week end. I don't think holding any keys down will open the tray, since it's driven by the belt from the tiny motor. Thanks.

Sorry - forgot to mention. You need to hold "Stop" and "Channel Up" buttons for 5 seconds. Tray will then eject. Also - May be in manual "Troubleshooting guide/Operation/Cannot eject disc". Had same problem myself once and searched internet for solution.

Put the machine in standby mode (ie switch power button on machine or remote) then, press and hold the STOP and CHANNEL UP buttons simultaneously. This will force the disk tray to open.

DMP-BD30 Blu Ray Player Disc tray will not open. I tried unplugging and also the instructions in the manual to open the tray. No Luck.

WHEN THE UNIT IS SWITCHED OFF, press and hold the STOP (black square) and Channel Up ( /\ ) buttons ON THE UNIT for 5-10 seconds. It takes longer than you might imagine and the unit does, of course, still need to be plugged in and power to be available for this to work!

Stuck in self check mode

Manually pull down the front shield, then somewhat forcefully pull down the inner shield and maybe two little white pins so the tray is exposed with nothing blocking it. Have someone plug the machine in while you are holding everything out of the way and the tray should start to open. Pull your fingers out quickly so you don't block the tray from sliding out.

Panasonic dvr,

If you hear the motor whirring then the drive belt may be broken. Pushing the buttons will not work. Someone will have to open it, remove the disc and replace the belt (if it's broken).
