The "open/close" button doesnt work on this player.

I'm positive the problem is electronic (as in nothing is jammed or stuck).

I've got it open in front of me, and I can physically put in and take out cd's and they play fine, I just cant get the tray to open.

If worse comes to worse, I can borrow one from a friend, but I'd rather fix it.

I dont know much about the actual electronics, but if someone had any idea what I would need to do, I do have the skills to solder resistors and such. (took an electronics class in grade 9 before)

Or...

What would it cost to fix the button at a shop?
