Sounds like the lens has gotten too weak to play dvd's. There really isn't much you can do. The only two things to try are a laser lens cleaning disc, and if you have it plugged into a power strip then try plugging it directly into the wall. Sometimes the power strip and decreased voltage through will help you extend the life of the player by plugging it straight into the wall outlet. If neither of these solutions work I would consider replacing the dvd player.
Thank you,
Lee

CD disk is plays, but DVD disk in no playing,,sometimes dvd plays,mostly no disk

try cleaning the laser lense
If you have a dirty lense it can still read cd because data is not as compressed on dvd, each byte of data takes up far less space on a dvd so the dirty lense might not pick it up whereas it might pick it up on a dvd

How to remove disc error message for my lg ht303su-a2 dvd cd player because it plays some dvds and other dvds wont play

Check a CD. If it plays, the Optical Pickup for the DVD is worn out and will need to be replaced.
If you are interested in having your LG repaired, please look to my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

Says no disc when i put in a dvd. dvd is new and clean, still won't work.

Hello
Put a video CD and see whether it reads and plays. If it also does not plays, or if video CD only plays and not DVD; in both cases; the Laser Pickup Unit is faulty and should be replaced with same type and number. OK.

Disc shows loading then error on all dvd disc

Put a cd in the dvd player if it is marked that it plays cds... if it plays the cd your dvd laser is shot... cheaper to get a new unit. if it doesn't play a cd try cleaning the laser. and last but not the last thing try unplugging it for a short time then plug it back in... if nothing works get the one tool that fixs most everything...... take it to office depot and they can recycle the stuff inside and help keep the earth green...then onto wally world.

I was given a mintek dvd player model mdp-1770 it is say no disc when there a dvd in it i have tryed recalbreting it by sliding back forth four time then loading a cd but it still reads no disc

If the unit plays CDs but not DVDs, then the LED for DVDs is burned out. There are separate LEDs for CD and DVD operation.
If neither plays, there is a more fundamental problem. In any case, only factory service will correct the problem with your "white elephant".
I have exactly this model.
