KLH model KD-1220 DVD Player, Disc Tray will not stay open

SNIP 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? One thing I forgot to say, I do NOT have a service manual for this unit. Revised Question: Did anyone have this exact same problem with this same brand and model DVD player and repaired it? Thank You in advance, John |

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 ... Arfa |

And something slipped out of kilter in the drive train This sounds like something worth looking into. I've had to remove gears and reset the position of computer CDROM trays before. If you bang the tray too hard, the teeth can slip, confusing the heck out of the unit. |
