Maybe the laser is broken. You should send it back for repair.
is it an original dvd?

    A laser is very hard to replace. And also hard to find. I think you should consider buying a new portable dvd player.



    Im sorry

Why my portable dvd playing won't play when i put a dvd dics in?

If it takes and accepts the disc but will not play it is either a mechanical issue (table not spinning the disc) or if not reading disc it is likely a dirty or bad optical pickup in the unit---

Dear Sir The dvd cannot read the disc

One of the problems with many DVD players is as they get older the spindle motor is unable to overcome the inertia of the spindle + the disc.

If this is the case the read head will try to hunt for the start of the DVD if it is not spinning then it wont be able to find the DVD. If you can access the DVD by taking the cover off you can give the DVD a chance to spin by giving it a little push if the player can find the DVD then you can watch the movie.

If this is the case you will need a new spindle motor fitting to your player.

Panasonic Portable dvd/cd player model #DVD-LS90 The player turns on and tries to read the DVD. However, it no longer spins so the DVD cannot be read.

Hi,

Two possibilities:
  • the laser eye (lens) is dirty, weak or defective. The unit no longer can sense that a disc is present and therefore will not initiate servo motor engagement. Pls try cleaning;
  • the spindle motor is weak or defective. This might be of additional information.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Dratted Coby TF-DVD7100 Portable DVD player not working!

Its defective. Coby doesn't repair the units. The lense is off balance which is causing the laser to not read the dvd/cd.

Reading but DVD is not spinning in portable dvd player

Some suggestions assuming you know you're using good discs, and have this problem with more then 1 disc. In anything that requires you to open the player and play around in it, I also assume you're not too akward with electronics, and out of warranty: spindle motor problems - you could either fix that by changing the motor, or occasionaly by dropping a little bit of 3 in 1 oil on the shaft. Just dont start it as a hobby if you can still go complain at the store... Good luck
