DVD Drawer Won't Open, No Pinhole For Paperclip Trick

Hello!

My Panasonic DVD s58 has a stuck DVD drawer. It makes noises when I click open or closed, but will not open. It has no paperclip sized hole for that method.

Really could use some help.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi @gigi1900 ,

According to the service manual for the player (if you have one of the models listed on the front page, that is) there is a paperclip sized hole (slot?) to open the dvd tray.

It is on the underside of the player.

Here’s an image taken from the manual, that shows how to open the tray with a paperclip if it won’t open using the eject button
