A CD that I was playing the other evening has vanished somewhere inside the DVD player and I am not very sure how to get it out. I tried taking the screws out but they are sort of star or flower shaped ones and although I thought the screwdriver I had was for this type of screw I cannot budge them. Any ideas?

Hi mrure.


Yes it is likely to be a Star Driver you will need. NOT a Philips


They are always very difficult to remove and easy to damage.


It is essential to have the exact size to avoid damaging the screw head..


' A CD that I was playing the other evening has vanished somewhere inside the DVD player '


Are you saying the draw opened but the CD was not there ?? How Odd..


Fox.

I have somewhere a driver with an assortment of bits including torx. Can you make a firmer identification from, say the RH panel at [en.wikipedia.org]?


I checked that link out earlier today and had difficulty identifying any of them mostly due to the screws in DVD being so small and also because I am in office so do not have DVD player to hand. Thanks for your help all of you. I will work it out.

It's usually a tiny hole, ideally sized for a straightened paperclip. It takes a few attempts, but pushing it straight in about half a cm should release the drawer.

Mrure has already explained. The Drawer is Open.

Somehow the disc has slipped off of the drive into the case..

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
