Hello
I'm looking for advice regardind a Toshiba SD2715 5 disc DVD changer. It was working fine until our four year old grabbed the player drawer and pushed and pulled on it with enough force to cause the drawer gears to jump. I took the unit apart and got gears back on track (I referred to an exploded drawing to ensure it was put back together correctly). The drawer will now open and close properly again, the unit plays DVDs, but something is amiss. IF I push the "open drawer" button, the drawer will open then rotate for 3-4 minutes before it stops so you can place a disk on it. And if I place a disk in the disc holder labeled disc #1, when I push the drawer open button, the player spins around to present me with disc holder #2. If you have experience with this type of problem, can you share some of your expertise? It seems as though something is out of sync, or needs to be adjusted. I'm hoping the adjustment is something minor.. It is a good player and I'd hate to add to a landfill for something that might be easily corrected. Thanks in advance for any ideas on this. |

Update
The light sensor that manages the rotating carousel works much better if it the DVD changer case is closed vs having the case open and a 500 watt light above it. I realized that shortly after I posed the question. Once the cover was back in place, the changer's functionality returned to normal. |
