I never knew such switch can be adjusted as u claimed in ur repair,I thought same tray switch has some kind of thinny copper winding in its thinny box that put on/off of open/close of tray. Good u were able to fix it
Well, obsolete technology is giving way for new technology, giving birth to new advanced devices.

sorry for the mistake. It should have been functionality and not the wrongly written 'functionaninality'.

Thanks Imoudu for a good article. I once faced such a problem in a dvd player. All but one effort failed to restore the dvd player to full functionanility. Missing, was the cd tray slide-out ability, a needful operation indeed. I, as the last resort, dismantled the hard to open tray switch. My multimeter wasnt registering any reading from the faulty switch hence necessitating the switch overhaul. Coming across spare parts for this now rare dvd players is close to impossible in my area. I cleaned and adjusted the switch contacts to make the dvd player regain its intended feature of responding with ease; tray slide in, tray slide out, as designed and desired. I'm always filled with wonder when watching an opened dvd player magic-like moves. Superb machines suprisingly gone too soon, its a pity.

I understand that only the tray motor and the belt were faulty. So the laser unit before this replacement was originally still fine and would have played any disc perfectly if a dvd or bluray was inserted manually without using the failing tray. These tray motors probably have no type marking label on them, but it would have been nice to know what its specs are. Anyway nice job Imoudu!

Yes, blue ray works with a lot of extra arrangement to play high resolution (1080P) DVDs with better clarity. But rest is same. Many thanks for sharing this interesting fix!
