Do not touch any components on the circuit board. Remove jewelry, wear safety glasses and gloves. Remove all the screws from the back with an arrow pointing to them and any screws on the bottom holding the PC board in. Discharge the tube if it is a CRT by grounding a screwdriver to the chassis ground with a clip lead. Slide the screwdriver under the "suction cup" on the tube with the large red wire coming out. Disconnect all the connectors from the PC board and write down how to reconnect. Slide out the PC board and retrieve the disc from the DVD mechanism. Reassemble

Root is just the dvd menu, when you put a dvd in the player it will show Root when the dvd disk menu come on, its not a fault just informs you that its working,

Sounds like the laser has developed a fault, first i would try cleaning the laser lens with a CD / DVD Cleaning disk and if that fails , open it up and using a Q-tip and methylated spirits , dab a small bit of Meths on the cotton tip and in a circular motion clean the laser eye gently But Make sure it is unplugged, if that fails you will need a new laser lens.

hope this at least helps.

The default code to unlock parental control on this model is 88888. Are you able to enter it from the front controls? If so, it should work.

I know this is an old post, is this still available? I could use it.
Thanks.

I have had that problem and the cause was the DVD installed wasn't in a format that the DVD player could read.

So you need a power adapter? And other cords that come with it? correct?

Thanks, looking into it.

You need to clean the device using compressed air first and then a disk DVD cleaning kit(any walmart etc.). Hopefully the laser just has some debris on it that is preventing it from reading the disk. Open the dvd tray and use the compressed air to blow out the interior. Taking the device apart is not necessary. Then try using the DVD player cleaning kit. Hopefully this will help.

you can get this required battery at radioshack websites.

try to approach some old parts shops or other area near you. or find the compatible parts.

all DVD player has the same problem, it is the lens cable to the circuit board or the DVD PCB needs to be changed. Try to see if the lens cables has any bends or bend out leads and try replacing the cable to see it is the problem. If its not the case than definately the DVD PCB board needs to be replaced.

You can find all kind of video cables here

I need to purchase a new battery. Where can I get this??? Where can I order?

dear lyndamesa,
If your cd s damaged then u your player shows no disk option. so jus check it up withnew cd. still prob exists, then your lens has been damaged. so u should change the lens.

If the threaded co-axial connection (which is what its called) has come off your tv, you'll have to take it in for service. Many TV/VCR repair shops can solder a new one on for less than 80 bucks.
