I took mine to an electronics place to be repaired and they told me the company is out of business and the parts are not available anymore.
Disc does not spin and shows on screen that there is no disc
With the power turned off, open the DVD Player, and then open the top where you load the DVD into the player. Locate the laser lens and notice that the laser is attached to a transport assembly that moves the laser diagonally outward in a slot. 1. Slide this assembly outward to the end of its track. 2. Slide the assembly back inward to the closest inward position. 3. Repeat the process of sliding the assembly outward and then back inward.4. Put in a music CD and let it play all the way through. This helps to calibrate the laser head assembly movement. When the music CD is finished playing. 5. Put in a DVD, and you should have a working unit again This is a factory solution from Mintek that was given to a customer who ask for help with the forever loading disc problems. This solution may work on other models of portable DVD players. Most portable DVD players use this type of transport mechanism. Try this solution it might work for you. I hope this information helps you with your problem.
Will not play any DVD
Turn off and disconnect power from unit. Check laser shuttle worm
gear, look for dirt or hair (as I found). Remove with tweezers
carefully. Check lubrication of worm gear shaft. If gone or
worn, use white lithium grease to lube (very little). Play music
CD 2 - 3 x. Than DVD. Worked for me.
Sound issue
Check your settings in the menu of the dvd player you can do this with or without a dvd in it. If not a setting it maybe the speaker/s are blown try putting earphones in if you get sound from them it is probably the speakers.
No disc error

No hdmi cable spot on my mintek 26" tv do i need a converter or will this not work?
If it has the RCA (Red,White,Yellow) ports you will have to use those. In that case if you are using something like a DVD player that only has HDMI output you will need a special cable that goes from RCA to HDMI. Here is a quick link for you to reference.
