Help! Won't eject the disc - Club CDFreaks

yoker1001 · 02-04-2007

My Philips DVDR 3450H won't eject the disc! It keeps reading and reading..and then it starts again to read and read...I can't interrupt it. Tried power off for a couple of minutes. When power on it starts to read and read and read...despite that I'm deperately pressing the eject button. I've tried all other buttons as well.

What is this? Shouldn't the ejectbutton override all activities..and simply eject the disc not matter what?

This really frustrates me. Can anyone help me? Or do I have to go back to the dealer, just because it won't eject the disc?

Please, help me out of my missery

I can't help you on what is causing this , But while the computer is shut down take a paper clip and straighten it out and go in the little hole on the face plate and push in and the burner will open to get disk out. Then try again with a different disk to see if it does it again. If so you may have to R&R it.

Download & install ImgBurn, which is freeware.

Go to Tools---> Drive ---> Unlock tray

Then Tools ---> Drive ---> Eject

Edit: I'm pretty sure the 2 above solutions will NOT work since this is a stand-alone device.

I had the exact same problem, came here through Google and thought I'd type a reply with my solution.
I burned a UDF DVD, inserted it into my Philips 3450H, and it kept trying to load it, and load it, and load it. Switching back between TV tuner and DVD mode, making way too much noise, and no matter what I did it would NOT eject the disc. (And I agree that the OPen/Close button SHOULD override everything).

I unplugged (!!) the DVD/HD recorder, unscrewed the lid (you need those star shaped screwdriver bits for this).
Inside you will find a black "DVDROM" device. the part closest to the front of the player had kind of a 'lid' with a white circle inside.
Unscrew the small metal strip/plate that holds the lid in place (4 screws), uncsrew the black 'lid' part, and you will see your disk.
Remove DVD disk and throw it out. Put everything back together, and in my case the thing is working again.
