My portable DVD player was working fine yesterday. I inserted a DVD and now it says No Disc. I've tried new DVDs and burned DVDs with the same result.

My dvd player will turn on but will not play the dvd or let me take the dvd out. What should I do ?

So the player will load cds and play them. But when I put a dvd in it says loading then it says DVD-VIDEO but stays at the boot up screen.

When I turn my dvd on the screen lights up and 1 second it turns off.

Our player had gone through the horrors and use of a rather sweet 3 year old for over a year before coming up with the no disk issue. Since the warranty is expired I went ahead and broke the seal on the bottom finding lots of hair, dust, and what I think were crumbs of some sort. Kids aren't allowed to eat in their rooms where the player was...um, yeah, we'll have a chat shortly here!

I turned it on without the bottom on it after cleaning the gunk out and it loaded just fine! After I put the bottom back on it showed no disk again. I loosened the screws a little on the bottom plate and tried again with success. I think the eye going back and forth was jamming on the bottom cover...it's well used but has more life in it now! I like this player especially how it's stood up to toddler use (no abuse) but you know!

How do you fix a motor that has apparently burned
out? The disc no longer spins.

I have a NS-PDVD8 . I purchased DEC 2006. I used it in April 2007 and then again in Jan.2008. When I went TO use March -2008 I received message NO DISCwhen attempting to play DVD.i messed with for an hour by rebooting and and dusting with compressed air.No help

next day I tried a CD and after very long loading time played music.
after I let it run for an hour I attempted DVD but same response.NO DISC

I cleaned the optical lens with a damp soft cloth and dried with soft cloth ( I do not recommend using a cloth but I was fed up and needed the player for flight next day) I believe you can purchase a cleaner kit.

I also ran the lens back and forth 5 or 6 times to make sure it could move fully along track.I heard clicking and wondered if this was ever going to run again.

I tried a CD first and the Cd loaded almost immediately and played

Next I tried a DVD and loaded successfully and played entire movie.

I turnred on and off about 10 times and reloaded movie without any problem.

Mine is doing the same thing. It seems to me that if I tilt it till the screen is laying flat it will play the disc. It usually works but it is inconvenient.

I had the same problem. Now i insert the disc, spin it clockwise and shut the lid quickly, while it is spinning. sometimes it works and sometimes i just turn it off and on and it will work.
