Introduction
If your Samsung DVD-P230's DVD tray is: opening slow, intermittently, or not at all, then use this guide to open up and replace either the rubber band or tray motor in the DVD drive.
The DVD drive is what reads the discs to the rest of the DVD player so that If the tray is faulty, then you may not even be able to insert a disc at all.
Make sure to have both a #2 Phillips screwdriver handy, and the understanding that you will have to disconnect some internal connectors and ribbon cables, as well as pulling some plastic clips.
Remember to take out any discs that may be inside the drive. Leave the player plugged in and powered on for Steps 1 and 2.
