Thanks for the video. I have a Plextor PX-130A that refused to eject (it's been sitting pretty much unused for 15+ years). I used the hot water trick, but I found that the main problem wasn't that the belt was sticky, it was that the belt had deformed around the small wheel such that the motor slipped when turning. Massaging the "pointy" bit of the belt while heating it and reinstalling the belt in a different position (making sure the deformed section doesn't rest around the motor wheel when the tray is closed) resolved the issue.
Sir, you just saved my BD/DVD computer drive. I applied the hot water treatment to the belt and put it back in and fixed it. Now the challenge will be to get a replacement. You're a Master.
Some other similar videos show the case being opened, the belt removed, cleaned with IPA, & the inside of the drive & gears, pulleys, etc, getting cleaned & inspected as well. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you, i hope it was useful. I have found most drives can be fixed from the front and often well still installed in the computer. The best way is to replace the belt with a new one, the IPA is good for removing residue from the rollers if you have it available. I would not generally recommend taking the drives apart, unless experienced in do so and in which case the video would need to be more drive specific. I wanted to produce a video that would be possible to fix a drive with tools and house hold items.
Often the rubber has become tacky and sticks to the rollers, the boiling water helps to rejuvenate the band but is only a temporary fix. Though the best solution is to completely replace the belt and while it’s off you can measure the belt to get the appropriate size to replace it with.
@@MerciaSolutions Anyway I just did some research and found out that rubber actually shrinks on heating.. So, I suppose immersing it in boiling water would actually help the cause.. shrink it and grip more..
Hi Zuka, if the emergency eject doesn't function, then the drive will need to be removed from the computer and the cover taken off the drive. The tool used to press the eject can require a reasonable amount of force initially to open the drive draw. Also make sure you are not holding the drive draw shut while pressing using a tool to eject the drive. hope this helps.
Wow, an actual HELP VIDEO WITH PICTURES and INSTRUCTOR IDENTIFYING EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
Thank you,MR PROFESSIONAL.

Neither will mine.

Do you do repairs. I am not good at takings belts off and on. Are you able to help. I'm in Warwickshire.
Hi Sarah, it would be more cost effective for you to replace the drive with a new one, though maybe a local IT shop can help?
Howdy.
When 007's drive won't eject he just takes his drive to Q ...

Where can I buy the eject tool?
Hi I’m not sure, some of the plextor drives used to come with the tools. A Allen key will work well as an alternative.
Would you believe NO PIN HOLE at the front! Ahhhhhhh
My blue ray/DVD player does not have a hole for a pin
I tried using a needle, but not having any luck just yet
hey i damaged hole and still cannot open help me pls
