I have a tv with a built in dvd player and it won't open. The screen says "open" but nothing happens.

Question

Someone suggested using a paper clip or something to pry it open but I looked inside the slot and I'm not sure how to even get in there and do that. I've never used the built in dvd player before.

Answer 1

is there a tiny hole in the front of the dvd player tray?  poke a paperclip in there.  that is the manual over ride and it should push the tray out far enough to pull it out by hand.  it sounds like it just got gooed up.

Answer 2

I knew there was a reason I don't buy tv's with built in players.
