Well, to solve the problem quick, I actually called in the service guy. Over here, LG comes to the door, but at an extra $40 bucks excluding parts. What I realise is that the drive is very easy to install, so could have just bought the part and installed myself, saving the $40.
With a DVD drive, it is hard to pinpoint the problem. And it being so cheap (old tech/over supply), most service centres would just replace the whole thing. 

I have had the same problem a few times. All I do is eject and re-insert the disk until it recognises it, this seemed to work for me

i've had the same problem, has yours come back? is there anything you did that made it work?

Try using the regionfree hack....it might work

1 open the tray in dvd mode

I got a link to this page in another site:

The third Loader Repairing option gives this detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Could be the dvd player/lens. The player sucks up dust through the
player's caddy and after a while it won't read discs anymore.
A cd cleaner or a good (gently dosed) blow with compressed air might help.

Hi there,

I had a RH 178 with the same problem. I opened case and removed the plate with the 2 drive cables and the front lcd cable. Simply wait a few mins and plug it back in, connect the 3 cables and use the 4 srews and VOILA it runs!!

No more "please Wait"

I think it was a connection problem with the "uplink" to mainboard (not the three drive cables and LCD). Can someone please report if it works with his LG?

Press 0 seven times - you'll get onscreen confirmation.

HI,

Please do hard reset by unplugging all the cords of the unit for 30min and then plug it back in.Let me know if you still get the same error.
