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..

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
