When i am play a dvd it stops in the middle of the

Probably dirty laser optics, especially the tracking optic. Go to Walmart or Amazon and get a CD cleaner disc. It has small brushes that clean off dust.

Sometimes the ribbon wire attached to the laser pickup head developes a fine break in the line causing intermittent operation, so as the laser tracks it flex's the ribbon.

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, the stepper motor that moves the laser is sticking on the worm gear or excessive ware on the gear linkage is preventing it from moving.

Hi,


Try updating your DVD firmware (located at the support website from dell) and see if it fixes the problem. I believe, i-Tunes causes a conflict between your dvd rom drive. You can check it here at the microsoft website support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

Hope this helps.

Your dvd drive needs cleaning of its lens. just open it and clean it with a soft cotton .
The problem will get rectified.

If u r playing on xbox live it can be the internet connection or memory problem.

1. You say in the (middle?) That in itself is subjective, Does it stop at an 'exact' specific point after playing for x number of minutes? Is it the same point for any DVD being played, or does it stop at a random point? - Does it stop when playing DVD--R or +R or what type of Disc? - more details helps to find a solution.
Also it is never necessary to use cleaning discs - Do that and it will wreck your player - and may never read a disc again. Using cleaning discs could have caused your problem. Use cleaning discs only for practicing how far you can throw them.

the lens on laser needs cleaning manually never use disc cleaners ever

You need to take this back if you have the option. The picture freezing lets us know that the data stream is stopping. It will not work right again and it was just coincidental that you uses a diffrent kind of dvd.

Thanks

What might be happening is a misread of the disk or a buffer error, these happen often, and can be fixed sometimes by cleaning the lens, cleaning and relubricating the guide rails and making sure the rubber bumper gromets are not worn down. Now these are all of the mechanical things you can do. The problem could also be a bad memory sector in the play back buffer, or a store and hold voltage could be off a bit (indication of a bad capacitor). I hope this helps.
