20 Most Recent Zenith DVP615 Portable DVD Player - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,

the problem is from you laser lens, the lens is weak that's why its telling you "no disc". The lens is weak such that it cannot load/disc.

Use a lens cleaner to clean the lens and if it does not solve the problem, then it means you will need to replace the player lens to solve the problem once and for all.

Good luck.

U talking about disc format regions?The NTSC disc formats play in the US,Mexico,and Canada.The PAL disc formats play in Europe,Middle East,and Asia.Where ever u bought this portable dvd player in that country that the region's it probally play in that disc regions format.

The easiest way to tell is if it work with the adapter plugged up to power. If it does work w/ the adapter and does not work when it is unplugged then yes I would suspect the battery. If it still does not come on with the adapter then it could possibly be the player itself.

The very best place to go is bluejeanscable.com

Tries Amazon.com,Ebay.com to buy a new charger.

That depends upon what format your download is. The player does not import from sources, only output. So, the only way to play it is if you can burn the movie to a disc such as AVI or MPEG.

Hello,

this problem is usually common with portable DVDs.

The fault is from the flex that connects the screen to the main board.

Fault also usually comes for screen board and the screen itself.

I would advice that you take it to a repair for checkup so that the problem would be fixed.

This problem is a common one.

I wish you the best and take care

Sounds like a major crash in the unit's microprocessor. Look for a tiny hole somewhere on the unit that says 'reset' next to it. This is actually a switch you activate by pressing it with a fine pointed pencil, or a straightened paper clip. Reset the unit. If it doesn't have a reset switch, try removing any batteries, unplugging the unit & leaving for 1/2 hour. If this fails, you will have to take the player to a qualified technician, because there are no user serviceable parts inside.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, the post / description "...starting to spin up..." is significant as it eliminates 1 of the 3 most likely suspects for the described concern, the spindle motor (least likely then).

Offhand, the 2nd common cause of this fault would be the traverse motor / assy (likely). The traverse motor is responsible for sliding the carriage from the near center towards the disc edge. The carriage is the holder of the laser lens plus its electronics that slides along rails driven by a (worm) gearing system turned by the traverse motor.

Alternately, the laser itself (most likely) if unable to read the data from the disc would trigger the spindle motor to stop spinning. Read failure could be caused by dirt, dust, smudged lens cap (glass) or simply burned itself up.

Options then are:

• consider a DIY (do-it-yourself) repair if and only if very familiar with electronic components & circuitry, use of a DVM/VOM, a soldering iron/station and safe working practices with electrically powered devices. Access to a Service Manual or at the very least, a schematic diagram would be a necessity;
• should you be uncomfortable with a DIY, perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of an authorized Service Center (specially if still under some form of extended warranty) or a qualified professional.
• evaluate other options considering age of unit, parts availability, cost of repair, shipping, downtime and comparative prices of newer / better models. There would be instances where repair is no longer economically viable. Not the answer you were hoping for, Sorry.

If a DIY is being considered, the following maybe of help:

• spindle motor failures are often the small bearings between the motor and the rubber support for the disc. A controlled spray of WD40 maybe of help;
• traverse motor failures are often gummed or dried-up lubricant, accumulated dust, hair, fiber and others. Again, WD40 maybe used to soften the old lubricant. Foreign matter maybe removed using a can of compressed air;
• laser lens maybe cleaned using DVD cleaner or manually using foam swab and alcohol. Keep in mind that even a speck of dust or slight smudge would alter/block the optics.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

Try cleaning the lense. Use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.

Please clean laser lens with good quality cotton bud gently and check dvd disc playback, if still does not play, replace optical lens block.
Let me know model number of your Sony DVD-VCR combo to provide you optical laser block part number info.
Thanks.

yes if it has the standard inputs that your normal tv has.

I looked on line and found the manual at : http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=DVP615&initialTab=warranty&targetPage=support-product-profile# It looks as though you need a 9.5v wall adapter, or vehicular power cable. The internal battery may be shot and need replacing, but perhaps you can take the battery out and use it with the wall adapter. I hope this is helpful to you.

is the lens that is not working

Recharge after 2 hours of use then.
