DVD player repair

MAKE Flickr photo pool member Tuesdays With Maury fixed a broken DVD player instead of tossing it, nice work – “The disc tray on my Lite-on 5005 DVD recorder stopped ejecting disks. I took the case apart. Unscrewed the metal housing around the DVD drive. Tossed it. I then measured where the manual eject button rests when the drive assembly is mounted. I drilled a hole in the face of the 5005. Now whenever the drive sticks, I use a small rod and manually eject the disk.” [via] – Link.
