Philips 642 shows loading forever and will not read disc

The problem is the lens of your dvd. You will see the optical lens when you open the the dvd and put the disc. Cleaning the lens of the dvd, you must be very careful, never touch the lens with your hand,Use a cotton buds to wipe the the lens gently.

lence is weak please chane the lence

this same thing is happening to me. It took forever to load Toy Story 3 (10 minutes?) and I've been waiting over 15 minutes for Robin Hood to load - I don't think it is going to. Sharp BD-hp20, new firmware.

You could try updating the firmware.

Hello,

its a lens problem. Its trying to read the disc but can't because the lens is weak.

You need to replace the lens or dispose and get another player if possible.

Take care.

If Wii gives Disc Read Error, first step you need to check is to try another disc or clean the exisitng disc. This will confirm that problem is with either Wii or Disc. If the console itself is giving disc read error then it needs to be repaired. You may check out DIY Wii Fix Guide, that will show step by step information to fix the problem yourself. It also gives information on fixing many Wii Related Problems, so its a kind of Wii Problems Reference Fix Guide

IT WILL SHOW NO DISC IF THE DVD IS HIGH DEFINITION AS THIS PLAYER IS NOT HD CAPABLE.

when mine has frozen up i push and hold the power/standby button for ten seconds then release then push it again and it comes on and opens as usual.  or do you mean the disc is stuck in the machine after the door opens?  maybe open the machine it could be inside.

it's not you. if it is not playing any disc and your on correct video input for tv call philips at 1-888-744-5477 and they will help with exchange process as these are exchange warranty models. if your still within grace period for retailer i would recommend taking back to retailer if possible as it would be quicker

after recording, did you ensure the "finalize" or "lead-out" process completed?
