Well this has got me stumped.

I have here a Liteon HDD/DVD recorder (TV programs) that will not eject the
disk that is inside it. There is power, the disc spins, and you can press
eject and it tries to do so but fails.
I can't remove the mech from the unit because the drawer front decal panel
is too big to pull into the unit, and the front part of the chassis prevents
the drive coming out of the front of the unit.
So the drive will not go either backwards or forwards to enable its removal.

If I broke this decal panel off the tray it would, but I don't really want
to do that.

How do you get these things out?

I have done this many a time with CD players, I either eject the drawers and
remove the front panels, or you can usually undo the 4 screws holding the
mech to the chassis, and it will move forward enough to enable the panel to
be removed.
But not this one, its tight against the front chassis.



Cheers,



Gareth.
