I have a santronics dvd player and it doesnot pick up the cds or dvds i put in it. it says no disc all the time. why? will i be able to fix it? and all the cords are pluged right.

change the motor disc spindle are loose their velocity thats why don´´t read the dvd´s

time to buy a cleaning cd

Change the motor disc spindle,good luck

just run a cleaner dvd in the deck a few times. my xdvd 710 didnt want to read discs well. I ran the cleaner disc & now works a lot better.

It could be a couple things...
#1. Over time, dust and deposits can accumulate on the laser that reads the disc. In many cases, DVD players with this problem can still read CDs. You could try a DVD laser cleaner, which is usually a disc that has a tiny brush glued onto it. Run the cleaning disc 2 or 3 times, and try it again. Try both CDs and DVDs, since CDs are easier to read than a DVD.
2. After a DVD player has been used for awhile, another common problem is that the laser in the DVD player becomes misaligned, inhibiting its ability to read DVDs. In many cases, DVD players with this problem will still be able to read a CD. I'd try a cleaning disc first, since the only way to fix this problem is to bring the unit to a service center for repair.
Let me know what happens after you get the DVD laser cleaner and run it. Hope this helps.

The optical lens is out of alignment. This is why it will read CDs which have much larger data pits that DVDs.

The unit should be able to read and playback CDs (both production and burned) and DVDs (both production and burned). If the optics are out of alignment and exceed their tolerances, the player will not read discs.

This is caused fromt he player being dropped or jarred.

This is not an easy fix for the home user. This is something that a qualified professional needs to correct.

Hi ,
You should do...
1- clean to lens
2-change with new lens
3- change the spindle motor
I hope to fine it.

you have to make sure your player supports the format your using on the dvds/cds.possible formats iso,avi,mp3,mp4 ect ect

Laser got weak. buy a new one

upgrade the firmware on the product.
