Portable DVD player no worky!

[kenimpzoom]

Put in a good DVD and it searches around for a while and finally puts up the message "Invalid disk"<br /><br />I opened the lid and defeated the interlocks and the disk is spinning, the laser is on, the laser is moving, and the laser is focusing.<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />I have cleaned the lens a couple of times now.<br /><br /><br />Thanks, Ken

Re: Portable DVD player no worky!

Is it correct to assume this is an actual DVD.......I know that some players wont play DVD+R,+RW; ie anything burned.<br /><br />Thats all i can think of.....you said you already cleaned the lens, and that would be suggestion number 1.

I tried several DVDs, all normal movies, not DVD+R.<br /><br />Dadgumit, the 4 yr old doesnt understand she can't watch her Tom and Jerry DVD anymore. <br /><br />Ken

Laser alignment could be out ‘a whack. Had it happen to my home player more than once, cost to re-align around $40.00 bucks.

This wouldn't happen to be a Wal-mart special with 2 monitors would it? The one we have does the same thing, just pull the power cord, remove the disk, plug the power cord back in and replace the disk. Sometimes I have to take the disk out several times before it decides to read it.

gspig, already tried that trick still no worky.<br /><br />Your DVD player must be running windows software, requires a re-boot every few days. <br /><br />Ken
