In DVD Player
By Jestine Yong on March 2, 2016

The complaint of this LG DVD player was auto open. It means that the moment you power it up, you
can the welcome message “Hello” and then suddenly the tray open by itself even though you did not
touch on any of the button. It remained open and cannot be closed. If the problem is open and close

by itself chances the EEprom IC need to be reprogrammed. However, in this case, from my
experience, it usually due to the On/Off switch problem.

As usual, in order to see the parts inside one has to open the cover and the tray.

Ok now you can see the small circuit board and the switches were located behind the board.

I checked on the close switch and found that it was not off. By right a close switch should show a
close contact and not open circuit. I did not replace the switch, instead I service it using a switch
cleaner.

After that I retested the switch again using my meter buzzer mode and now I could hear the buzzer
sound indicating the close switch is in fact closed.

Now I can insert the disc and closed the tray and the DVD player can play movie. If after servicing
the switch and the problem still the same then the only choice you have is to direct replace the
switch and retest. By the way it is fun to repair DVD player as compare to other equipment because
