The DVD player tray jammed and wouldn't eject the disk.
After undoing a surprisingly large number of screws to get the case open - I
noticed the rectifier/reservoir electrolytic was starting to bulge.
First one of those I've seen fail in quite a while. Its nearly always the
secondary side caps.

I'm thinking just a crap quality cap on the BR, its usually the secondary
side caps that fail.
It was rescued from the bin room at the flats, so I don't know its history.
Occasionally the tray would eject and retract immediately, so you have to
grab the DVD quick - apart from that, it worked fine. So far I've found a
replacement cap, but not got around to lifting the PCB out. For all I know,
someone could've already re capped the secondary side.

My other DVD player has - but only because I pulled the plastic bit off the
front.
