Bad slotin dvd player
I own a Denver DVD/19" Tft telivision.
Nice cheap unit, but it has its faults.
1. random freezes between chanels. Solution, remove power count to ten, and reboot.
2. Dvd's becom stuck in the slot in feed mecanism.
Its the second we vill tackle today.
I think, the problem occurs, with a sensor in the dvd cradle.
The one telling the controller that the cradle is in the loaded position.
I think that either it isnt activating the sensor, or perhaps its overshoting the stop position.
Since the sensors tells the computer there is no dvd, it cannot eject it.
So how to fix.
Well the first fix i had, was to open the unit, remove the dvd, assemble it again, and wait for the next time.
When this got old. i drilled a hole in the box, added som vires directly from the slotin motor, and now, i can remove the dvd, by adding a 5v power supply to the wires ! Thou this workes it isnt elegant.
I think ill have to add mod it, so i get 5v form the 12v power line, and add a relay that cuts the 12v from the rest of the unit, when im activating the switch.
This last part is mostly for making sure that i wont burn something when using the mod
