Hi!
Hopefully someone can help me. Recently, my Panasonic DVD-RV31 started dying. Some research on the web later, I discovered that my drive motor was dying. A fairly easy solution called for opening the DVD player and spinning the motor manually. I did that. Didn't work. Another solution called for opening the drive itself and oiling the gears/motor. I did that by taking out the drive assembly. Unfortunately, I closed the drive tray (the part that slides out to take the discs) BEFORE I put everything back where it belongs. (Blame it on my fascination at watching the gears move as I slid the tray in and out. *siiigh*) So ...
Now the tray has locked closed. I can't put the drive assembly back because the metal chassis has to slip over the digital display but with the tray in the locked position, I can't move the chassis out of the way. Does anyone know how to open the tray back up without breaking anything?
Please and thank you!
