DVD tray not working

This DVD player has not seen that much use. That part # is available from Vance Bladwin and the Parts Store for $51.+ shipping. Now to wonder if it's still worth it. Thanks for all of your help!!!

But from the parts store.com it's $39.

Hi Minnie, that part is for the mechanism, and it seems that does not include the PC board. The PC board on the DVD assy is 72783495.

Are you saying that you think that it is the mechanism and not the board?

I've never had the board go bad before.

I still think it's the mechanism.

Have you ever had the mechanism go bad before with symptoms like the tray won't open (but will close) and distorted idle DVD screen, but the TV pic is fine?

I've pulled quarters, pennies, and ham sandwiches out of sets. Not to mention barbie dolls and wax soldiers. The easiest thing to do here is buy an external DVD player.

I have already pulled it out once and it is clean of contaminants. But, in the end, you may be right (external DVD). It goes against my tendency towards persistence. Grrrr.

I hate combination units for this reason. Me myself, I like to play. But, $40 plus shipping, let us know what you decide to do.
