Astar PD-3020 portable DVD player keeps saying bad disc? Disc is fine - can this be checked out? Is is worth it? Also my Zenith 9inch TV/VCR - TVSB0902 - Accidentally kicked plug from wall - now it will not turn on at all. Is there a reset or something? Can this be checked out? Thanks!!

    I met the same problem after I used the small player (Serial No: 0506005934) for one more year. It did not read any DVD disc, and responsed as "bad disc". But it read all VCD disc fine right now.

Usually this is an alignment problem-these players get banged around alot-also they suffer from people pushing the DVD or CD down too hard and this makes the space between the laser and disk smaller and this makes it unreadable-may need to take to store to get fixed-you may also try to lift the plate that the disk sits on by a millimeter or so and try it-they get pushed down from putting disk on the plate-that may help -it can't hurt as it already does not work-good luck

SOURCE: portable dvd player keeps saying bad disc

try cleaning the lens with a lens cleaner cd, if this doesn't work the lens itself is scratched or faulty and you will need to buy another dvd player

SOURCE: PORTABLE DVD PLAYER NOT SPINNING DISCS AND SAYING NO DISC

When it is region lock it will say it on the display, if the player is not reading any disk, it is more likely a lens problem, see below:

Try first using a lens cleaner disk, like the ones here.

If that does not work, the unit must be disassembled, and lense cleaned with q tips and isopropyl alcohol or cleaning solution. See below:

Bad disc message

Some times dust can collect on the laser lens of the pick-up assembly and cause this. If you can get to the lens, which is under the disc tray where the disc gets clamped and starts to spin, it can be cleaned with a q-tip and alcohol. Just be gentle with it. If this doesnt help the pick-up assembly will have to be replaced.

I have a Zenith XBR413 dvd/vcr recorder. Just bought some Memorex DVD+RW blank discs to do some recording. When I put the disc in the recorder it says "Unknown disc - check disc again" and pops the disc...

You may need dvd- disks instead! ( it usually one or the other!) and if your player does take a DVD+ you might have to change brands of disks ( I know this sounds stupid but all disks are not created equal! and do not work in all players!

Getting "Bad Disc" message after Loading message...

If you've had it a long time and used it often, could be the lens is dirty or something wore down and it should be trashed since newer players have more features like usb ports.
