im just wondering if anyone knows of someone or a company who can repair these in the ottawa area. my unit had a mechanism failure. Or maybe if its possible to fix the problem myself.

The drive mechanism failed as i was putting an mp3 disc in. it pulled it in and then the screen said mechanism failure. is it possible for someone who has almost no experience to fix by myself.

I had it happened to me a few times. It always fixed itself, after pushing the eject few times. there was nothing wrong with it.

Did the disc you were inserting have a homemade paper label? I have to extract these homemade discs from CD/DVD players rather often...
