Wont play a disc. It will stay in Loading mode for minutes and then read "No Disc"

see the causes and fix it: God bless you

1. No disc. - Load a disc into the tray.
2. Disc has been loaded upside down. Place the disc with the label side up.
3. Disc region code does not match region code of the player.
4. Disc type is not the correct type to play.
5. Disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc or try another.
6. Moisture may be condensed inside the unit. Remove the disc and the leave the power on for one or two hours.

Clean with disk cleaner the Lens +OPU

either a dirty or bad optical pickup in the unit that reads the disc so it can play.

The unit has either a dirty optical pickup (it reads the disc) or a bad one--most of the time if bad cheaper to buy a new player.

firstly is the disc an origional dvd or a copy? most dvd players wont play copies or dvd's made on a pc, also is it a dvd for the region you live in?, failing those , maybe the lens just needs a clean 8)

if thats the only game it does that for i would clean your disc..it does that when there is a bad disc.

clean the laser using a lazer disc cleaner not only does the disck get dirty but the lazer too when its too dirty it wont read the disc -- disc error

There are a few different things that you can try. First make sure that your discs are clean before you put them in the player. Even if the disc is new I would recommend cleaning the disc off. The second thing that you can try is a DVD player reset. You can do this by unplugging the player for about 5-10 minutes. Then plug it back in and try the disc. If that does not help I would try a DVD head cleaner in the player. If all of these things do not work, it is most likely an issue with the player.

the laser inside may be having the problem or the optical sensor inside the player is not proper.....

if after all the above said procedures fail kindly contact ur manufacturer.

thank you

hi emiller,you might be playing a format not known or cannot be played on ur dvd player check if any original format (dvd) works on your player.
