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..

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
