Post subject:  [DVL-700] Issue

I recently purchased some Laser Discs and have never owned a player so I bought a DVL-700 off of eBay. It unfortunately did not work when I received it. I took the plate off and basically it powers on, but when I tray to open the disc tray it does not open nor does it look like the motor or w/e seems to be working. Just wondering where I would look into information on fixing this, how much it would cost for parts, and such.

If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Basically it turns on and shows the lights/activity on the front, but when I click "LD Open" it just says "Open" on the front for a second and nothing happens... I do hear sounds when it is turned on, just not the anything to do with the disc drive/tray... Also after pressing "Open", "Play", etc it likes to default back to saying "Stop" on the front panel.

Here is a video if it will help any: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwjqki ... lhOEE/view

Is the drive belt ok? Might be a broken cam gear. This sits beneath the tray....

I'll check that out, as soon as I figure out how to remove the tray lol.

When you first power on the unit the pickup that is on the bottom should move to detect if a disc is in the player. If it does not then you have a pickup motor, switch, or other issue. Where is the pickup on the bottom at? Looks like you bought a unit with issues.

Is there a possibility that there has been a disc inside during shipping that blocks the tray from ejecting?
I had an experience like that.

This is quite comon, see here: Pioneer DVL-909 problem

I also have one project player with that issue but have not yet found out what's wrong with it. One of the gears was broken and I replaced it but that did not solve anything....
