My dvd/cd stopped working.

replace the laser

is this happening with all the cds??
the case may be with the cd sometime..where the tracks wouldnt have been properly completed...

first you must check if your portable loads cd or mp3. If it loads cd or mp3 the defect is lens and this should be replace by an expert. If both cd,mp3 and dvd didn't load you check first the ribbon wire for signs of disconnection and foldings and then replace it. If still your portable didn't work the most probable defect is MPEG board.To distinguish if MPEG or lens defect in lens shows malfunction such as not reading dvd but reading mp3 or cd, unwanted stop of play even with a good dvd.

Hi there.

The CD/DVD drive uses Class Filter Drivers. These have probably been currupted or are missing. All you should need to do, is re-install the Chipset Drivers (Intel).

Let me know if that works.

With the power turned off, open the DVD Player, and then open the top where you load the DVD into the player. Locate the laser lens and notice that the laser is attached to a transport assembly that moves the laser diagonally outward in a slot. 1. Slide this assembly outward to the end of its track. 2. Slide the assembly back inward to the closest inward position. 3. Repeat the process of sliding the assembly outward and then back inward.4. Put in a music CD and let it play all the way through. This helps to calibrate the laser head assembly movement. When the music CD is finished playing. 5. Put in a DVD, and you should have a working unit again This is a factory solution from Mintek that was given to a customer who ask for help with the forever loading disc problems. This solution may work on other models of portable DVD players. Most portable DVD players use this type of transport mechanism. Try this solution it might work for you.

lg powerdvd version-5 was installed in my hp-pc, but the dvd player is not working properly. some time it stopped in playing cd or dvd .please help me.tarun dutta.

Try cleaning the lense / As well install correct driver also; If nothing works out best alternative is to replace the CD/DVD rom with new or working once.

Hi, in my experiance 99 times out of 100, it's the CD/DVD gone kaput! sorry... they seem to be rather delicate devices and fail for often NO apperant reason. I suggest ya take it to a reputable "PC Guy" Get a FIRM QUOTE, and replace the unit. If ya tech savy then buy a new unit and replace it, it is REAL simple to do so ya self, usually the sorta "Plug In" I bet that solves ya problem.. :)

you could try this http://www.fixya.com/support/t244156-denon_2910_cd_player_malfunctions or clean the lens

Buy a CD/DVD cleaning disc. Try that. Maybe the read head is dirty.
