Wont work red flashing light when i plug my dvd player in

Since the players of this kind are not repaired because of the low cost of new, just replace it.

Plug out the device,Open the outer shell or strip the outer shell take a hair dryer heat up the board slightly until it feels slightly warm then plug in and switch on and remove disc.Then put outer shell back and fasten screws that where removed.

This answer worked for me (don't forget to come back here to vote for my "solution"! :)

check ur player power supply

hi i have sorted the problem i went on line of the make of the thomson freeview and their was other people with the same problem and they help me by reading their instrutions on their page now it is working .

THIS CAN BE SOLVED BY CHANGING THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY BOARD OF YOUR DVD PLAYERS. The main problem should be the Main Capacitor in the circuit. The safer side is to change the whole board.

Ihave a GPX portable dvd player that has a broken charging jack on the unit itself. The model is a GPX 808.

On front of television is the video, left and right audio plug ins. This is where you will plug the adapters from your dvd player. They are color coded for easy installation. Step2Make sure the adapter is also plugged in to back of dvd player. Step3Plug dvd player into power source and turn on. Step4On the front of television there is a tv/av button. Press this button twice or until it says video 2 in upper left hand corner of television. Step5Insert movie into dvd player and enjoy. To get your tv back to cable press tv/av button once.

try unplugging the dvd player then plug it back in as this treats it like a reset.

I had the same problem, After googling for a few minutes I found the reset procedure for this player.

1. Turn it on.
2. Eject any disk you have in there and close the tray.
3. Hold down the "STOP" button on the player (not remote) until the green light flashes red and the system reboots.
4. Insert disk and enjoy.

This worked for me... mileage may vary.
