SONY DVD Player refuses to load DVDs

Hello
Just clean its laser pickup lens, by inserting a lens cleaning disc in to, and play it at least two times. If it doesn't help you, the laser pickup unit should be replaced. The lens cleaning disc can be bought from most of the electronic sparepart selling shops at your town, and won't cost more.

Hi there,

Although no guarantee, this 'region hack' is rumoured to work:

1. Place the DVD player into 'standby' mode.

2. Using the Sony remote, press the following button sequence: Title; Clear; Power (green button); 0 (zero button)

3. Using the remote, Open the disc tray, then close again.

Now insert your disc and attempt to play - allow up to 2mins to load/play. If no response, open/close tray and try playing disc again.


Cheers,

maybe the spindle motor is defective so it cannot read the disc. just bring that your dvd to sony service center to fix your dvd.

Change the motor disc spindle,good luck

This is not a problem that a reset will resolve. If you can gain access to the lens, try cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. If that does not resolve the problem, the spindle motor may be defective. This is the motor that turns the disc. Once a disc is recognized as being loaded, the disc is spun up. If it does not get to speed fast enough, it will fail to read.

The bottom line is that without seeing the unit, I can not state exactly which scenerio you have here.

If the cleaning does not resolve the problem, I would suggest you request a detailed estimate from an authorized Sony service center.

Hi,
Its problem of incomplete unloading of CD tray so system control in player sense it and generate command to close it.
CD Loading mechanism needs service and cleaning to loading belt.
If you have electronics experience, you can make it easily. let me know if you need further info.

Take the lid off by taking the 2 to 4 screws out of the sides of the unit to get the disc out.

There is a possiblity that he may have shifted the unit while discs were in it causing the discs to slip off the tray and into the unit. You have to open the unit to check if there are loose discs.

the drawer is not seating all the way with the disc, open to make sure nothing is blocking the disc when it slides in.

just open the player (4-6 screws) and clean the lens. I had a similar problem (plays VCD, CD but no DVD - tray will open immediately). It worked afterwards
