cd tray won't open, Yamaha CRX-E150

I noticed the cd tray will not open at all when I first got the unit, looked inside and there was a broken rubber band, I replaced the band now it will not open unless I click on the "open" switch first and quickly give a little push on the tray faceplate as seen on the video.

what is the likely cause?, shall I tray a little larger band? I am a novice as far as electronic but can try to replace the band...

The loading belt should not be too tight.
Just enough to eliminate slippage.
Also, the tiny open/close limit switches tend to be dirty over time, and need flushed with some contact spray to clean the internal contacts.
Hey, I have this same model, the CRX-E150. I am also having the same issues. You wouldn't happen to have a link to a loading belt I can buy for mine, would you? Preferably in the US as that's where I am. 😅
