Disc will not play

I just purchased a new DVD. When I load it it readys loading then reads "no disc" and will not play.
There is a note in the DVD case that says "it is possible that this DVD was manufactured after your Disc player and your player may need a firmware or software update. Please consult your hardware manufacturers website for the latest firmware or software version.

I cannot locate any information regarding firmware or software on the website. Is there anything available for my machine or shall I just return the DVD?

If your DVD player says no disc, Sometimes it's because the disc is scratched, sometimes it's the machine having some problems. First, make sure that your DVD is intact and undamaged. If there is something wrong with your player, then you can start doing something to fix it.You can restart the player to check it. Or you can clean the DVD laser lens.

That player is at least 5 years old. The DVD market has changed a lot over the last 5 years. Blue ray and HD and now UHD and 4K so it is time to get a new player. Most places wont take a DVD back after you open it.

SOURCE: player says loading and then says no disc!

first try to clean the lens as if its not played very much a film of dust or grease ect ect can be on the lens. If that dosent work then your gonna have to clean the lens maually If you wanna take apart the unit you can then very carefully clean the little lens in slow circular motion BUT BE CAREFULL. if that dosent work the palyer may have went out of alighnment or the laser assy is defective. Good Luck

SOURCE: No disc when disc is inside?

open the cover of the unit, but be sure that it is unplugged. try cleaning the lens with a soft dry cotton swab. donot put any cleaning liquid on it. just dry cotton swab. also put the nozzle of the duster on the lower part of the lens assembly to remove the accumulated dust. if its still doesnt work have it check by a qualified service technician. good luck!

SOURCE: dvd "unknown disc" message coming up

Have you tryed to use a lens cleaning disc yet. The laser lens on these players and recorders alike, must have the lens cleaned every oince in awhile. If that does not help, most likly you have a bad laser pickup assembly and you will need to replace the plaer as to have that repaiered, you could buy a new unit. Good Luck

SOURCE: Daewoo DVDS130 player says 'No Disc' after it has already loaded

Hi

The drive is not reading the disk. This is either caused by a fault in the laser/lens/drive itself or caused by dirt in the drive effecting the lens.

There is a Laser cleaning DVD that you can purchase from any audio shop - its not expensive and useful to have around anyway. I would recommend you try one of these and you may find that it will resolve the problem as a simple and quick fix.

Hope this helps. Please remember to rate my answer. Many Thanks.

I purchased a toshiba portable dvd player and the disc is not spinning therefore reads no valid disc. I have put in a few discs still same reading? Any suggestions?

Hello
The Sled Motor is defective. this is the motor, whic spins the disc as it has been loaded properly. If the loader mechanism loads the disc properly into place and if the catch up magnet catches the disc in place, and still the dis do not spins, replace the sled motor. OK.

Samsung dvd player does not read dvd disc.it reads "no disc".

I also have a Samsung Dvd player. If it is a dvd you burned yourself it may not recognize the disc. If you have loaded a purchased or rented disc and it still won't load, I would say the head is dirty or the unit is defective. I would try a head cleaner first.available at most electronics stores If that doesn't work you probably will need to send it in for repair.
good luck

HOW DO I TYPE NAMES OF CD OR DVD ?

You can't add a title to a disc from a player (such as this). You can only add a title on a disc writer before finishing the disc. (The only exception is RW (rewritable) disc which can be unfinished.) If a title (disc, chapter or track) is on the disc you can display it. Press Title on the remote. If you want to read all of the information on any disc, insert the disc and press Load on the player (when in Stop mode) or press the TV/DiscExplorer/DVD button to set the unit in Disc Explorer mode. It takes about 30 seconds to load the data. Press Stop to cancel the data search. Then use the folder buttons (ALL,DVD,CD,A,B,C,D) on the remote or the player to read the various items. Press Return to leave the folders. If you enter the Disc Explorer while playing a disc, the playback will stop and you will have to press Play to restart (Resume is not an available option).

Once loaded the player will store the data even after you remove the disc. It will clear when a new disc is inserted or you press Load.

The manual for this unit is available at: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=DVPCX850D .

I hope this helps.

After loading a disc it says "no disc"

Clean the lens with a soft cotton cloth but be careful not to touch it with bare hands. Make sure the lens is not soiled with dust.
Note: if it says 'NO DISC" immediately after closing the tray, check capstan motor if spins smoothly. It is the one spinning the disc. Open the unit's casing to have a view of the disc when playing. If it doesn't spin, replace capstan motor.

When a disc is loaded, it reads no disc, and disc cannot be played.

It is very possible that the lens motor has burnt out. Sometimes the capacitors on the motherborard short out causing the gear timing to go out..

The only thing you can do to fix this is to take the cover off. Get cotton swab and dip it rubbing alcohol and clean the glass laser eye with it.

Dvd keeps saying loading but won't play

Sounds very much like you have a either a dirty laser, or a laser unit failure. Put a cleaning disc through the machine, and see if it improves. If not, then you need to either have a new laser fitted, or a new machine.
