My
Pioneer LD-V4400 has gotten “lockjaw,” that is, it makes noise and won’t open.
The belt seems to move along with it’s gears, I think there’s a jam somewhere else. Since it won’t eject Im hoping to remove the tray the hard way.
Strangely, when I unscrew the front panel, it doesn’t come free. The tabs aren’t hooked. I feel the tray itself is holding it in, but isn’t removing the faceplate the earlier step??
