A "friend" gave me an emerson dvd/vcr combo player that works fine
EXCEPT it won't eject the dvd. It will close the drawer fine if it is
open and it can be opened manually from inside the machine and then it
will respond to command to close. I have looked for some sort of sensor
that reads the drawer closed assuming if it doesn't know it is closed
it won't open but I can't see any. Any ideas?

you have a driver ic that has gone south or look for a puffy cap near
the ic just follow the wires that go to the loading motor and you will
fid the ic it might have a small heat fin on it
