there is generally a crappy leaf type switch to sense with the door is
open. try burnishing it with some paper.

does the unit open all the way, then pause and close or just close
instantly? It may have no idea when it reached end of travel.

Hi,

The tray opens all the way, then immediately closes.

Regarding the leaf switch or other type, did you notice this part of my
post: " Note: I was in consumer electronics service for many years."
Don't you think I looked for such a switch?



Well, pardon us for trying to help. What you describe is a very common
problem with all CD/DVD mechs, and I can't remember ever fixing one of any
make or model that wasn't down to a dirty sense switch somewhere in the
mech. Maybe you just weren't looking in the right place ?


One thing I forgot to say, I do NOT have a service manual for
this unit.

Then perhaps you need one ...
