Yup. Ist gestorben, kaput. Spins the disk, laser tracks but can't read DVD or CD.<br /><br />Would appreciate advice on replacement; player, recorder/player, brand, price, etc.<br /><br />Thanks, friends.
JB, they have gotten so darn cheap, they are now<br />a throw away item. unless u need special features,<br />just buy the cheapest one you can find. if it<br />breaks in a year or 2, just get another one.<br />see them for $89 all over the place and will only<br />get cheaper down the road.
For my entertainment room only. 'Puter is in another room.<br /><br />Just got back from the "Shack" picked up a new RCA for $50 on sale. Whatadeal! <br /><br />Thanks, guys.
Hey JB,<br /><br />Feel adventurous??? <br /><br />You might find the answer to your problem here:<br /> DVD Problems .... <br /><br />The details outlined are not really machine specific as most use similar transport-loader drives.
Don't use those lens scratchers they sell at Wallyworld. They scratch the lens. Think about it, you hit it with a paintbrush a few dozen times and expect a laser beam 1/30th the size of a human hair to reliably pass through?<br /><br />Nah, take the cover off and use a very soft cloth or que tip and rubbing alcohol to clean it.
