    I have an old Lite-On LVW-5045 160GB HDD+DVD Recorder and the dvd won't eject. I haven't tore it apart yet but was wondering if anyone knew of a replacement dvd burner for it? It still plays the dvd in it. I'm not looking for the whole package, just the dvd player.

    I looked at pictures of it on Bing. It does not appear to use a PC-type DVD drive. You might try contacting Lite-On about a replacement; however the cost of parts and labor may not be worth it.

    Check the owner's manual or look at the DVD drive area closely. It you see a tiny pinhole, you can stick the end of a paper clip in it to eject the disc.

    Hope this helps. :)

    I've tried to find how to contact the company but am having trouble. My wife misplaced my manual and I also read about the paperclip in a hole but mine doesn't have one. My computer dvd player doesn't even have one. Thanks for the advice anyway.
