I tried to open the player and i discovered that the disc is not spinning... what's the problem????

The pladder motor is bad, "disc sits on top" most be replaced to regain normal operation.

Ok, disc error happens for 2 reasons....1. If this is self made dvd, it wasn't finalized, or, as was already said the lens is dirty. If you feel up to it, unplug it, and remove the top....if you can get to the lens, simply apply rubbing alcohol with a q tip. Hopefully, it fixes the problem.

Hello
If your DVD player shows no disc, even a disc is inserted, try to clean its laser head assembly, by inserting a cleaning disc in it and play atleast three times. Take it ejected each time before you play it. If it does not helps, open the top cover of your DVD player, insert a disc, and notice if the disc spins or not. If disc spins, and not reads, the laser picup unit of your DVD player is faulty, and should be replaced with same type and number. If its stripe wire connected between pickup unit and main board is detachable, try repalcing the strip wire first. In some occations, bad strip wire will show this type of problem.
If disc does not spins, the sled motor [the motor that used to spin the disc at high speed], is damaged and shoud replace it. OK.

What's probably wrong is that the player's optical assembly isn't working. If the lens is very dirty or the laser power gets too weak, the player doesn't detect the disc. The player has to see the disc is there before it starts spinning. You can try cleaning the lens with a cotton swab and lens cleaning fluid, but if the trouble continues then the pickup should be replaced.

u need to find another dvd loader thats compatible with the recorder software or you will have problems :(. best bet, seek an authorised lg agent and purchase parts from them

This is due to faulty DVD lens/head. Try cleaning it with DVD/CD hed cleaning CDs.If still the problem persists, contact near by service center for replacing the faulty Lens.

Hi,
Try several cds to ensure that the problem is not the cds..
Then try to clean the lens using fine product..

Same problem. I finally took the cover off and discovered this is how it works: When a disc is inserted, a machine part comes up from underneath the disc tray and goes through the disc hole. It then ( by way of a magnet in that part) attaches to a fixed metal part above the disc tray, thus holding the disc in place while it is spinning. However, and I don't know why, the magnet is so strong that what happens is when you push the OPEN button with no disc in there, the mechanism is not strong enough to pull the magnet away from the metal part, and the tray cannot move forward (open). I did discover that it WILL open if there is a disc in the tray, so I always make sure I have one in there before I close the door, otherwise I have to stick a knife in there and manually push the magnet piece away from the other piece. It's a design that probably sounded good on paper but.....

if your dvd player is 5 years old or more i suggest you trash it and get a new one but if its not try to clean the lens manually with a peace of bond paper. rub the paper gently on the surface of the lens

Check to see if the disc is spinning. You can do this by one of two ways either

• a:) Listen for the disc to spin after inserting it or
• b:) Place disk in drive right way up (so that the label is not upside down). Load the disc and eject the disc again to se if the disc has moved i.e. the writing may now be upside down.

If the disc does not spin then it is likely that there is something wrong with the disc motor. If it does spin then the issue is more likely to be with the laser unit. Try cleaning the lens but if this doesn't help it's likely to be a more serious and ultimately more expensive problem.

Hope this helps
