No, your machine will have a Region Code shown on the box or in the manual. You're trying to play a DVD with a different Region Code. There may be an unofficial modification, but you'd need to search the dark corners of the internet to find it.

Please confirm the make / model number, is it in fact a DVD-LS90?

Please let me know, that's a pretty bad error message to be getting, but want to be sure.

Please replace the lens with new one.

You can buy one parts portable dvd from ebay to use the replacement part. Ribbon cable can be soldered together if you try that first.

Dropping any electrical unit will almost everytime destroy it. Sad but true...this unit may have many problems. I suggest you replace it altogether! Sorry! Thanks for asking!

I followed a few, of the already suggested answers. The first one I tried was to open up the back and use compressed air to blow out lint, food crumbs and dog hair that had found there way into the machine. This seem to have worked just fine. Now the machine is working, much to my daughters delight.

Hi,

On most Panasonic, error code HO3 indicates a mechanical problem, more specifically, the cradle that supports the laser eye could not traverse along its path. Corrective action requires opening the unit, cleaning the slider bar, plastic cogs, worm gear/drive. It may help to use a can of compressed air and re-lubricate appropriate parts. Since the unit is open and expectantly dust would be swirling after the use of the compressed air, it may be to your advantage to swab/clean the lens itself prior to closing.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Did you turn on the input of the tv to receive 'external' input.? Did you plug the DVD into the right input?

See if there is a break in the ribbon cable.Place a light behind the ' ribbon ' so that you can see the the wires in the tape. If you see a break in the wire inside the ' ribbon ', you will have to ' jump ' the break with a wire soldered to each side of the break. You must strip ( vary carefully ) the plastic on EACH SIDE OF THE BREAK to reach the metel conduct. If you can, strip the plastic or melt it over the break and ' dap ' it with solder to reconnect the break.
Be careful because the ribbon with the electrical cable inside is very thin and fragil

Do you want a changellage? Do you know how to solder? With a pencil thin soldering gun ? open the equipment(dvd) and carefully look for a cracked board. If anything, RESOLDER every large 'bump' of solder on the circuit board. they are usually ground or return paths for electricity and the "DROP" could have loosen the solder connection.
lots of luck
