I usually take it out and put it back in a few times to make sure that everything is shut tightly, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. If it happened every single time I would think the machine was broken, but because it works half the time, I am puzzled. I have a rented DVD that I put in there tonight and got that mess
message referring to no disc being in the system. This can be infuriating because you can see that dvd laser lens cleaning disc there is a disc, however, the CD / DVD player cannot. Every time

attempting to focus the beam. This is the time when it is looking for a disc. If the laser has failed, then it will not be able to detect a CD and therefore the https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/travel-tech/topics/portable-dvd-player-says-no-disc-even-with-dvd-in-it error message appears. I normally do two things when this happens. I normally clean the lens just in case there is dust on it obstructing the laser path. If cleaning the lens does not solve the problem then I make sure the laser is working. Obviously one should never look directly into the laser unit, you would have to be plain stupid if you did that. The laser light http://www.petervis.com/CD_and_DVD_Players/no-disc-in-cd-player-error/no-disc-in-cd-player-error.html is bright enough that one can see the diffused red light from a distance obliquely. A piece of paper the size of a standard CD within the tray can also help, because when the tray closes, one can see the diffused red light on the paper. It is usually bright enough and visible from the other side of the paper. If there is no red light, then the laser has failed. Back in the 1990s, I used to fix many of these and it was always either the spindle motor or the laser that failed. These two components are in constant use and wear out the most. Laser diodes do not last forever, especially on the early players manufactured in the 1980s. It would be very surprising to find a player still working from that era. Most of those units used cheap motors where the brushes wore out within a few years. Moreover, if that did not fail, then the laser surely would. The laser diode manufacturing process was not as refined either, and those diodes had a short finite life to them. Most of those early CD players would be hard to find as they often ended up in landfill. I have c

If the device is plugged in and still not working, unplug the device and see below for guides on fixing your DVD player. Broken power supply¶ If your power supply is broken, it could be due to a blown dvd player not fuse. Refer to our guide here for a guide on replacing the power supply and the fuse. Audio and video problems¶ Menu items can't be selected¶ Press the STOP button twice before selecting the system menu. Depending on the DVD, it is important to be aware that certain menu items will not always be selectable. Your remote or the buttons on the player may not be working- see below for repair information. Distorted or no picture¶ Make sure the proper input/output cables are plugged into the correct ports- red cord into the red port, yellow cord into the yellow port, white cord into the white port.Check your TV settings to ensure that it is on the proper mode.Sometimes a small amount of distortion may appear due to the disc. This is not a problem with the player. This would likely be evidenced by very occasional skipping issues.The DVD may be dirty or scratched- insert a clean DVD to make sure it isn't just the disc. The disc reading lens may be dirty or damaged- see our repair guide here.
