Default DVD drawer will not open

Toshiba SD6100 DVD Player

With cover off or not.
No DVD is in drawer. Can see inside.
Hit OpenClose front panel button and drawer moves slightly forward then
back. Looks like an attempt to open but does not.
Display shows Open the Load.

Occasionally the motor turns a little probably looking to see if DVD is
loaded. No DVD in drawer.

This unit has very little play time on it, maybe 15 DVD plays but is at
least 6 years old.

Is this fix-able or now electronic waste?

Suggestions please.


Independent DVD player or computer component?
If the latter there's a tiny hole you can put a straightened out paper
clip or similar in to manually open the drive.
Sometimes just working it out a bit will resume normal behavior.
I've one such drive here and I can get it working as above.
