Portable dvd doesnt play movies

hi
usualy bad optic block (lazer)

my Portable DVD Player just stop playing movies. i put a movie on and it want read or it will start the movie snd just stop and want play no more

Try another DVD. If problem persists and it does not work with any type of DVD, whether recordeable burnt DVDs or original pressed DVDs then your unit is bad - either dirty lens or the laser diode is bad.

The lazer pick up might need adjusting..

Hi, your problem is the laser lens, it went sour. This device is coded to read only region 1 disks, when U attempt to read other regions disks it will read them once, 2 or 3 times but then... it will stop reading any disk regardless the region they are. Regions codes were implanted on disks to control piracy, so USA has region 1, Mexico 4, Asia I believe is 3 and so on. There are a total of 6 regions worldwide, U have to get disks matching the region U are from or, better solution... get a multi-region DVD player.

Hey Teddybearman, I have exactly the same problem as you have. Did you manage to find out how to fix it?

hi,

Does it happen for all dvd disc or some particular dvd disc. If it is with some particular disc then clean the dvd and try them. If the problem exist for all the dvd then try to clean the lens by dvd lens cleaner and try to play. dvd lens cleaner will be available in dvd stores.

Thanks,

Go to radio shack and get a cd lens cleaner kit.

i have tried diferent movies plays for a few seconds then goes back to reload disk and continues on last memory and sometimes cannot load disk

mine only plays cd's wont read movies
