I put a dvd into player, now it won't eject or play and I can't even turn off the machine. If I unplug it and then plug it back in, the logo screen reappears with the image of a turning disc in the corner. The display says "hello" but never progresses beyond this.
-   I have this issue also, however it appears that in my case the spindle motor is binding. If I work it back and forth for a while it will loosen up some and then play a disc briefly.
The DVD drive looks like it is straight out of a computer. I can't help but wonder if a computer DVD/RW drive maybe could be substituted in place of the original.

-   Unit will not eject or play dvds or vhs, has no volume when turned on, and channels will not change. No buttons will work. We were watching a vhs and had to stop it by unplugging and now nothing works. LG told me to buy a new one because it is about 3 years old. Worked great until today. Is this a bigger problem than just the dvd player?

You may have to replace the lens on the player. O replace the entire DVD player. You may be able to find one online. be sure to give all the information possible.The problem is that the lens is not reading the digital information.

I have comcast digital cable. When I use the auto mode for channels on my recorder it does install some channels. A message comes up that this channel has switched to digital. Is there some kind of adapter that I Thankscan use on my recorder so I can record these channels.

As with everyone else. It stopped reading DVD's after 3 months. I sent it back and they replaced it. 6 months later the replacement does the same thing. I am with everyone else I am going to steer clear of LG from now on.
