I have cut and pasted the Q&A below:
"We have a portable Mintek 1810 DVD play that when you input a DVD or CD it just says loading. loading, loading and you can hear the disc spinning, but never stops. We have cleaned the lens and still doesn't work

his happened to me a couple times also with my cd player I dont really know but I think you might just have to leave it alone for a while without a dvd in it

So, here are my thoughts:
I have a Mintek flat screen HDTV/DVD player combo that unfortunately has had glitches with the playing of DVDs since day one. Currently, things are worse than ever; it DVD player works maybe 10% of the time. Otherwise, the unit's reaction to an inserted disc is to display "Loading..." for up to a couple of minutes before ejecting the disc.
Upon finding your website and searching it for some time, your sage advice to the most similar question I could find (I admit that the question may be referring to a portable unit) is to "leave it alone for a while."
Wow, and I thought this technology stuff was sure goin' to be tuff for us hillbillies down here in the Southland to unnerstan...'
Don't take it personally, I'm just a bit frustrated when an expensive piece of equipment doesn't work as it should.
Oh, and also when my "young 'uns a crying because they cannot watch their movie that I promised they could once they finished their readin' writin' and 'rithmatic.
Why does this "loading" occur continuously?
How can I get this expensive HDTV/DVD player to work as it is intended to?
