Thanks for the reply Daniel! I haven't had the unit apart yet, but as
for the symptoms: The dvd drawer fails to open - when you select DVD on
the remote, all you get is a blank screen and no menu. I assume that
the whole DVD side has died completely.

If you read reviews of this unit, you'll see that 9/10 of them fail
with the same problem...even after a matter of days. So, someone must
be fixing them, and knows exactly what goes wrong...

Cheers...
