Unit won't play discs,orig or otherwise. Keeps flashing "no disc" although they are loaded.

If I understand your rather cryptic post correctly...

This very well could be a Blue-Ray disk loaded into a
non-Blue-Ray capable DVD player. Your car player's capabilities MUST match the disc, otherwise, the disc won't play.

I've run into this very same problem with my home DVD players. Which both are non-Blue-Ray capable, but I was able to verify the Blue-Ray discs on my PC.

follow this test and fix it. God bless you

Check its loading mechanism for proper disc loading. Replace the loading belt first and check. If it does not help you, insert a cleaning disc into it. If the fault is with accumulated dust or dirt on the laser pick up lens, it will be cleared out. If not, replace the laser pickup unit.

see the block d. attached.

Clean the optical pickup lens. Use a lens cleaning disc. If it do not help you, replace the optical pickup unit.

Either a mechanism problem or a problem with the Optical unit inside (optical pickup) being dirty or bad.

Hello
Just put in an audio CD disc or an MP3 disc, and see whether it reads them or not. If the player can read these discs, and only refuses to read DVD discs, make sure that the laser pickup unit of it is faulty, and should be replaced with same type and number. If none of them reads, there are two possibilities, the first one is of laser pickup disc itself and the second one is the strip wire [a flat flexible cable connected between laser pickup unit and the mainboard of the player] is faulty. First replace the strip wire. If it helps you, it's OK. If not replace the laser pickup unit also. The strip wire can be bought from most of the electronic spare part shops at your town. When buying laser pickup unit, its number must be noted, and exact replacement should be done. Otherwise, it won't match with the main board. OK.

Hi, Chessmaster 9000 needs the disc to be always in your computer in order to be played. If for example you just install the game then you remove the disc, it'll ask always for the disc to be inserted. If you need more help just ask.
