My player does not read disks
When you get no disk error, that is usually because of a problem with the
optical laser lens that is dirty, faulty or opaque, and will start
operating on certain disks better than others.
In that case you will hear disk spinning, whirring and clicking, but the TOC (table of content track at start of CD/DVD will not be read, therefore the error.
Whe this problem is starting you may be able to read only CD, DVD or Blue ray, or for example only DVD-R and not +R , or only to read and not to write and so on. After more prolonged usage , often the unit goes losing the rest of functions, and ends up not reading anything at all.
If instead there is no noise, and disk does not spin at all , then there is a faulty motor, or the motor micro-switch is bad. This situation is far less common than the lens problem.
Try first using a CD/DVD or Blue ray lens cleaner disk to clean the lens. If that does not work you will need to disassemble the drive , and clean lens directly with q tips and isopropyl alcohol, or to replace the CD/DVD lens, or the whole drive unit.

Cuando se oye el disco dar vueltas por unos segundos, y despues el
lector acaba sin leer el disco con un mensaje 'no disk' , y esto pasa
con todos los discos, entonces sinifica que la lentilla laser esta
estropeada o bien suzia.
Intente limpiar la lente utilizando un disco limpiador como esto : CD,DVD Cleaner Kit High Quality
Si esso no sirve necessita limpiar la lente directamente con algodon y alcohol, o sostituirla.

i think my problem is the motor, i got this dvd player from my sister, she said it was reading disc error all the time, so i opened it and saw that it was just the dvd not spinning, it was trying to spin but not enough,so i would just spin it more with my finger and it would start to fully spin and work fine after that, So i tried spinning the spindle peiece with my finger to see if that would help any, you never know, that ended up stopping it, now it doesnt try to spin at all, i konw its only the motor because the lazer eye thing works fine, its trying and trying to read, and when i would help it spin more it was fine and would read fine. How do i fix this, it was mentioned above about a faulty motor switch or just the motor, how should i fix this. if i have to replace the motor where could i get one at? rAdio shack wouldnt have one would they?

I am also having the same problem...when I copy my pics from my computer to the CD I have found that there are 2 formatting options available...'Live File System' for Windows XP and future or 'Mastered' for use on older formats also including DVD players. This worked when I chose Mastered. So my pictures now show on the DVD player, but they are not in the order I saved them on the CD. If you know how to fix that one...write me back :) sanderson@scu.org Best of luck! Techology is great...but only when you get rid of the headache of figuring it all out! Working on this for 3 hours today to get mine working right!
