on the case there will be a globe with a number init, thats the region code. you need to match the dvd to the players code.

First thing is to clean the laser with a disc cleaner kit to see if that cures fault. If not then can suspect mechanical with motor or drive

I recommend you check all the connections, try a different video/scart lead and ensure you have the correct video source selected on your TV.

if it is portable read here: try a manufacture reset, or call nextar customer support

if it is a non-portable read here: check to make sure all the cords are in the right places and all the way in on both the dvd reader, and the tv. try different set if inputs on the tv (it may be just those ports that are bad), make sure it is not set on blackout (or a setting that only plays the sound, no picture, check the menu or some place on the remote, try a manufacture reset on both devices, and if all else fails call the manufacture

I had the same problem. I switched the AV switch from OUT to IN and back, a few times, and the LCD image miraculously and surprisingly returned.

video reader on the unit is bad

found replacement part at Nextar site, I'm good.
Thanks

Hi,

Appreciate the "Ask Me". I am assuming that you tried the flashlight test.

Fixing the old one would of course require familiarity with electronic circuitry and components, use of a DVM & a soldering iron as well as availability of discrete components (your friendly neighborhood electronics part store may have them in stock). Normal culprits would be dried up, blistered or leaky capacitors. Rarely do the semiconductors break down (switching transistors) in an inverter circuit (but they would also from time to time). Often, it would be a case of cold/open solder and repairs involve is simply re-application of heat with a soldering iron and a dab of soldering lead. In instances where mostly everything checks out OK, it would be a resistor that has opened or gone up in value.

A replacement would be available (easiest to do). Most inverters used by portable DVD players are also used in laptops, GPS, depth/fish finders and other electronic devices that uses LCD display. That being said, the inverter would be manufactured by another company and would have their own part number not necessarily that of the player's manufacturer. Doing a Google for "inverter P/N" where P/N is the part number and you might be lucky.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

If your Harwa smart TV is having trouble opening apps, you can try a few troubleshooting steps to restore the functionality: 1. **Restart the TV**: Sometimes, simply restarting the TV can resolve temporary glitches. Turn off the TV, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on. 2. **Update the TV's Software**: Make sure your TV's software is up to date. Check for any available firmware updates in the settings menu of your TV. Updating the software can often fix bugs and improve performance. 3. **Clear App Cache/Data**: If specific apps are not working, try clearing their cache and data. Go to the settings menu of your TV, find the Apps section, locate the problematic app, and then clear its cache and data. This will reset the app to its default state. 4. **Check Internet Connection**: Ensure that your TV is connected to the internet and that the connection is stable. If your internet connection is weak or unstable, apps may have trouble loading or functioning properly. Try restarting your router or connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. 5. **Reset Smart Hub or App Store**: If the issue persists, you can try resetting the Smart Hub or the app store on your TV. This will restore the default settings and may resolve any issues with app functionality. Refer to your TV's user manual for instructions on how to reset the Smart Hub or app store. 6. **Factory Reset**: If none of the above steps work, you can perform a factory reset on your TV. This will restore the TV to its original factory settings, removing any customization and potentially resolving software-related issues. Keep in mind that a factory reset will erase all data and settings on your TV, so make sure to back up any important information before proceeding. 7. **Contact Customer Support**: If the problem persists after trying the above steps, you may need to contact Harwa customer support for further assistance. They can provide additional troubleshooting steps or arrange for repairs if necessary. By following these steps, you should be able to restore the functionality of apps on your Harwa smart TV.

It sounds like there might be an issue with your television or its power source. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the Power Source: Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into both the television and the power outlet. Try plugging the TV into a different outlet to see if the issue persists.
2. Check for Overheating: TVs can sometimes overheat, especially if they're placed in an enclosed space or if vents are blocked. Ensure that there's proper ventilation around the television.
3. Check the Remote Control: Sometimes, the issue might be with the remote control. Check if any buttons are stuck or if the remote's batteries need to be replaced.
4. Reset the TV: Unplug the television from the power outlet for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the TV's internal system and fix minor issues.
5. Check for Timer Settings: Some televisions have timer settings that automatically turn off the TV after a certain period of time. Check your TV's settings menu to ensure that no such timer is enabled.
6. Update Software: If your TV has a software update option, make sure it's up to date. Sometimes, software glitches can cause unexpected behavior.
7. Inspect for Physical Damage: Look for any physical damage on the television, such as frayed cables, cracked screens, or damaged components.
8. Contact Manufacturer Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or recommend repair options if the TV is under warranty.

general steps: Get the TV remote control and push the "Menu" button and select "Options". Select "Child Lock" from the "Options" list. On some televisions, the "Child Lock" is named "V-chip". Choose the "Remove Child Lock" selection. Highlight this and then hit the "Enter" button. Enter the four-digit code that you used when you activated the child lock feature. If you cannot remember it, your only option to deactivate the child lock is to reset the TV. The instructions for resetting a TV is written on the user's manual of the TV. Exit the TV menu once you have entered the four-digit code. To do this, press the "Exit" or "Menu" button on the TV's remote control. If you don't have a remote, you might try leaving the TV unplugged overnight. Some TVs will 'forget' their settings if left without power for a long period. You could also potentially buy a cheaper universal remote, and use that to turn off the child lock.

To pair your Ruwido Amadeus R 9710 remote to your TV, you can follow these steps: Insert Batteries: Your remote is powered by two 1.5 V AAA batteries1. Make sure to insert the batteries correctly. Switch on your TV: Ensure your TV is turned on. Press the TV key: Press the TV key on your remote control for approximately 4 seconds until the LED flashes twice. Enter the Code: After seeing the 2 flashes and within 5 seconds, enter the 3-digit numerical code from the list provided with your remote2. After entering the code, the LED will flash twice indicating that the code has been accepted. Test the Remote: Point the remote control towards your TV and press the key. If your TV does not respond by going into Stand-By mode then repeat steps 3 to 5 and enter the next code in the list. Bed.-Anl. H2 Version1 (ruwido.com)

That sounds like it has a backlight fault. A good TV engineer can possibly repair that for you.
