I should have mentioned, this is not the "pop open" type, it is the old

Long shot and you probably tried this, but look for any unidentified holes
in the bottom pan of the recorder under the drive. With some luck there may
have been a manual opening slot in one of the gears that allow a small
screwdriver to open the tray. It's possible the drive mfg provided this,
but Liteon may not have added the access hole.

If you have to break off the front trim, it will go back nicely with contact
cement or RTV.




No holes that I can see.

I have managed to get the rear end of the metal shield free, the front
screws are not accessible.
I have then also managed to remove the top cover rear screws and I can see
the disk inside if I bend up this cover.
Sounds to me like the mech has jumped some cogs rather than the belt is not
good enough.
I don't think it is going to open whatever I do from this end.

This is the unit.

Looks like I'll have to break the trim off.



Cheers,
