NOT a computer....a dvd player!


Question Posted Sunday December 10 2006, 4:15 pm

Well..I went on Vacation during summer and I bought a dvd player since it's much cheaper there than here. It's not an expensive one...it's about $25- 40 in best buy and it worked perfectly when i tried it by my relatives there. So I brought it home and my tv doesn't have to special holes to plug it in so I left with playing for about3-4 months. Recently I got time to buy the devices needed and then when I tried it...it didn't work again. IT says either :"unknown disc" or "no disc"! It did work ONCE but it skipped a bit.

I bought one of those lens cleaner...and bam when I popped it in it cleaned it and the cleaner cd said "now your dvd's lens is clean" and played some music to say it's clean....and then when I put in a normal dvd movie...it doesn't work. What should i do? Get a new one...or ccarry it to fix?

The DVD could be a different region than the DVD player.

I had a dvd player that did that. I never figured out a way to fix the problem. Very aggravating...
I do know that if you were to take it to be fixed, it will end up costing more than the machine is worth. When it comes to taking it to a repair shop or buying a new one, I'd go with buying a new one.
It may have been that on your way home (or in storage), it may have got jostled around a bit and the lens got knocked out of kilter. Just a little out of whack, and it won't read dvd disks.
