it feels like something is blocking the slot and the disc won't go in. Is there something I'm supposed to be doing besides just sliding it in?

I had the same problem. There are two possibilities (1) the unit is not drawing enough power or (2) it does not work with your computer. This unit was not compatible with two Macs that I tested it on. It would not work and I could not resolve the problem. I had to return it. If you are on a Mac, then probably it will not work for you. If you are on a PC, see if you can get the unit more power.

Put the disc into the slot gradually until the disc player grabs ahold of it and pulls the disc into the player. Have another TV of a different brand with a side-loading disc player, and have had no problem with either brand.

Mine just slots in and out. There are a couple of buttons on each side to depress when you remove it. You might try holding those in when you pop it back, although mine just clicked back into place without doing this.

Did you loosen up the plate from the left? Maybe one of the screws got stuck and it's not allow the plate to slide. Try something to slide between the plate and adapter after you loosen up using the liver on the side.

Many models (including this one) seem to be omitting that feature these days. The idea is that if you are opening the tray then you need to be up there anyway to insert a new disc.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

Try another DVD brand or two. Sounds like your disc drive is having mechanical difficulties. Probably not specific to these Taiyo Yuden discs.

Yes, I had the same problem. Got this and it works great. It's kinda hard to place it in, just take your time.

Press your fingernail straight into the slots that have arrows on the side. That should work

You could try holding the other side down with you finger(the side with out the screw indent) while you screw it in with your other hand. Other than that you might have busted the screw

There is a bolt that that when turned spreads the part in the cd slot apart making it sit tightly in the slot. I just turned it until the unit was secure in the cd slot.

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

I super love mine. Never had any troubles with it. Do you have the bottom in the slot section properly. Ask if you can return it.

If the micro SD card does not click into place and feels loose, you more than likely missed the slot. I also did this the first time I attempted to put a card in. I used a flashlight to look into the slot and verify it was going in correctly.

You need to firmly...BUT CAREFULLY insert the card. The slot is very tight so that it holds the card securely.

You have to pull really hard on the bottom cable. It will almost feel like you're breaking it. Took me a while how to get it

it shouldn't be too stiff. i've never had a problem pulling the bit out. Perhaps your release is stuck? When you press on the area with the 5 grooves, the area near the bit should lift off a little showing that it's unlocked/released.
