Not sure if anyone would have an answer to this problem or not, but I
have this blueray player that's suddenly stopped working properly. Here
is a photo of the info on it:

We finished watching a movie one evening and then my brother changed the
settings to "update automatically". Ever since then the machine has
been stuck in a loop of "Up ..... Open ..... turns itself off .... turns
itself on again ... Up .... etc.," It was connected to the internet so
it should have updated, but we finally had to just unplug it and put our
old blueray player where this one used to be. It works fine.

We've tried to find a solution on the web, but have come up empty, and
can't find a 'reset' button on the stinking machine. Should we turn it
into a boat anchor or is there a way to reset it to get it out of that loop?

Maybe I missed something but is that "loop" actually trying to eject a
disk, detecting a jam and turning itself off?

Maybe you just need to manually open the disk slot and give it a fresh
start ... assuming there really isn't a disk stuck in there.

There is usually a paper clip sized hole in the face of the drive that
releases the catch and operates the mechanism. Push in the clip and
you will feel it release and then feel the cams operate to open the
slot.


I'm pretty sure there isn't a disk in the slot, but I'll mention it to
my brother and see if he can check it when he gets time. He's been
working all day today, and he's usually the one who messes with the
hardware around here. It's not his day job, but he's kind of handy to
have around with most stuff like that.
