DVD player tray won't open!

[Kurono]

I recently bought a Vsonic 2038MX DVD player and the tray won't open anymore after watching a PAL DVD! The DVD is still stuck inside, what should I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Did you try restarting your computer?

[limesqueezer]

Unplug the cable and plug in back, if its a DIVX player. If something like this happens on computer right click on dvd in my computer and select eject.

IF it's a computer, shut it down then insert a pin or paper clip into the little whole on the front of the drive, usuallly below the tray somewhere. This will open the tray.

A DIVX player is used to open files that u can than see on tv screen, like u open files on computer. When u burn a cd/dvd that has avi, mpg, mpeg..etc on it, u can browse it on tv, just like u do on computer monitor. U can upgate it with many things, u can use subtitles on it.

Hey thanks everyone for the reply so far. Sorry I wasn't clear on my problem, but the DVD player is a standalone player for the TV, not computer. It's a multi-region player that can convert PAL DVDs to NTSC on a NTSC TV, this is the main reason why I bought it and it can also play MPEG4s (DivX, Xvid), SVCDs, etc. which is a plus. I am going to bring it back to the store I bought it from tomorrow, hope they can fix it.

Did you try unplugging it for a bit and plugging it back in?

[Seedler]

I used to work for a recycling place and we would get used computer rom drives in huge boxes on occasion. I would go through them on my off time and open them with the pin trick to see if there was a disk inside (I got alot of software this way) I ran across one that would not open and I could tell there was a disk inside so I took it apart. What I found was a little strange, above the tray was a round pad that was magnetic which would hold the disk suspended during spin. It had magnetically stuck to the lower disk and had pulled away from its top holder so I pushed it back in, took the disk and the drive and I still use it every once in awhile. Its possible that this is what happened to yours, the magnetic pad pulled out of its holder and as long as its stuck to the bottom pad the tray will not open.

So I brought it back to the store and they opened it up. Apparently the DVD jammed the tray and it works normally again. Thanks for all the help everyone.
