All of a sudden my DVD doesn't work. The cable are

If it's connected via SCART, check the cable is connected both sides. If this doesn't fix the problem, try a different cable. If this still doesn't fix it, it will be a fault with your dvd player.

You might have disconnected one or more cables powering the DVD-drive. Check wether you have connected all the wires correctly and / or without making any bad contact.

try cd/dvd cleaning lens kit of your XAV-A1. if still it doesn't work, try opening you XAV-A1 and clean it with a cotton buds with a cleaning solution from the cleaning lens kit. if still it doesn't work, have it change a new lens from a certified technician.

When you push the open/close button, does the tray open/close? Do any lamps light-up?
Any noises? If not, there's no electrical power reaching the device.

Turn your desktop computer off.
Disconnect the power-cable.
Remove the side-panel, to expose the "back" of the LG drive.
Check that the "data" and "power" cables are correctly connected to the drive,
and that the other end of the "data" cable is correctly connected to the motherboard.

Or, spend $40 to purchase a new CD/DVD reader/writer, to replace your "dead" device.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Two things that will cause the “No Signal” message to come up are - no data available for closed captioning and a weak signal input. Your TV is in the Closed Captioning Mode. To turn it off simply bring up the on screen menu and scroll down to the part that says closed captioning and turn this function off! With the closed captioning block displayed and the program being viewed is not sending out closed captioning signals the TV will display, No signal!

If this doesn’t resolve your issue then the problem may be with the processor failing and it is causing a random read of the EPROM to display the not available message. I’ll suggest you to run the HDMI from the PVR (personal video recorder) directly to the TV (mute the TV), and then run the optical audio from the PVR directly into the receiver's optical in. The closed captioning is something that is addressed in analog broadcasts, but not necessarily digital broadcasts

Try using Component cables if this doesn’t make a difference. After using components cables the issue will be resolved. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Try setting your cable box for Closed Captioning. Worked for me.

There is a specific chip that processs color for the video output, if you are using the RCA connection or Svideo (Yellow or black cable) try the threaded tv cable. If that doesnt work it is probably not worth the $ to fix.

Dear friend, my sony dvd drive tray opens and closes itself, it is mostly a problem related to hardware. in my case I removed the IDE Data cable connected to the dvd drive and reconnected it again. now my dvd drive works well, I think the problem was the IDE data cable, may be a loose contact.due to this loose cantact,a jung signal goes to the dvd drive, which opens and closes the tray frequently without our knowledge.

this is due to improper connection of wire from optical drive to motherboard i.e check whether the power cable/ide(sata)cable is not loose.Also clean their plugging area.problem will be solved.thanks.

unplug power

open unit
remove dvd drive (4 screws)

remove power cable to dvd right rear of unit on circuit board
(squeeze plastic connector and pull up)

remove ribbon cable CAREFULLY wiggle it from side to side and it will come up

Then with drive removed, open up drive to access the bottom near front door

Once open you will see a smalll motor and a white pice of plastic that slides. with tray closed slide that piece of plastic as far towards the middle as it will go

with that slid all the way over you should be done.
close it up and be carefull sliding the ribbon cable back into place

Worked for me!

Good luck
