Got a door at last for my JVC RC 838 - thanks mrupscale1

I put it on - by going thru the back

and at first it wouldn't shut

after a bit of "persuasion" i got it to close

now the sucker won't open

what have I done wrong?

Can you look inside the box and see how it got stuck? Did something break?

nothing broke

locked shut

gonna get my hammer out

hi nick ,  take the back off then remove the chassis out of the unit chances are the door release is trapped or have you done that allready  ?    if not remove the tuner board i find it easier to get the chassis out with it out of the way .

i hate taking these things apart

dog hair gets in there

and i lose my watch

and i always end up with 3 screws and two jump wires that seem orphaned

i have exactly the same problem --i mean with the 838 shut door, i have neither dog nor wristwatch

This is a big box to work on !

I Didnt try to open mine but send it straight away to my tech

guy who is by the way lazy as a lizard in the sun !!!

3 months now and he always come up with an excuse for not

working on it !!!

He is a nice guy though.

i paid a 10nner for one donkeys years ago...to be honest i think that's all there worth....cant help you nick but if there built anything like the m60 m80 it should be pretty easy...let us know how you get on

going in through the back can quite often incur problems nick!

RR - My 838 is one of the best boxes I have heard

it's beaten any other boxes I have heard into a cocked hat

Lee - I hate going thru the back - things can certainly get messy
