Question about LG DVD 5183 DVD Player

2 Answers

Dvd player is completely dead.

I have a mild knowledge of electronics, and have just recently recived an lg 5183 dvd player. Problem: It doesnt turn on! no standby led, no life at all. I have had a look for bad solder joints already but with no avail. Is there any way to bring it back to life?

First thing to check is the power cord with it unpluged. Do you get a resistance there or is it open?? If its no reading at all then the power transformer or fuse or current limiter resistor is open. If you do get a reading then you know your power transformer primary is good. Next measure the AC volts comming from the secondary of the transformer. AC volts? Good! Now Find pin 1 or the end pins on the microprocessor. 5 volts present?? No theres your problem get a schematic and troubleshoot the power supply. Yes 5 volts? Measure the display any volts on it?? Ok im sure by now your gonna say no to one of these and like I said get a schematic and conferm all the voltages are present in the power supply. Most common dead problem in dvd/cd players is the power supply ie transformer,regulator, ic, ect, ect. Good Luck

My LG plays some cds and dvds but to others it fails. to other dvds it reads them but the screen flickers so i can not watch well. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
Good day..

That is the common problem of DVD..In that case it usually happen when the lens is not function well or cannot read the CD clearly so you have to do is..

  • First,remove the cover of the DVD by loosening all screw from the side and back that holds the top cover.
  • Secondly,if your DVD having a top cover to the disc assembly or the disc tray,remove it..If none you need to remove the whole disc assembly from the unit to reveal the cd lens
  • Thirdly,after the lens will reveal..Try to clean the lens using cotton buds and don't put any chemical such as alcohol or contact cleaner even water..
  • And finally assemble it to test the DVD if it is OK..



  • Thank you and good luck.

My player, plays some DVDs but not others, but will play them occasionally. Have used a cleaning disc, but no improvement. Have cleaned lens of Laser with Arklone and cotton bud - no different.
If it has crossed more than 500 hours it could be the laser optic unit ( known as lens ).
The replacement would cost you 1/3 the cost of a new player.

I have an " LG DVD 5183" player which no longer plays most disks. Any suggestions?
Hi, the only real thing you can try yourself is a cd lense cleaning kit, you can buy these from most computer hardware stores and some discount shops, this may solve your problem as it will clean the laser lense and should get it working again.

if how ever after doing the above it still dont work then this points to the fact that the laser is on its way out and if this is the case then the chances are it would be cheaper to buy a new player.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated answers, thanks

Need to unlock a LG 898 dvd player. i would like it region 0
Converting the player to multi-region (or technically region 0) so that it can play DVDs from anywhere in the world is simple. Just download a file, burn it to a CD, insert into the DVD player and pick the region you want from the on screen menu that comes up. Just google for and follow the instructions for the LG DVD-5000 series players, it is the same hack for the DN898 as the LG DVD-5063 5083 5095 5183 5253 and 6053 and the Sanyo HV-DX1E, HV-DX2E and DVW-7100 and quite a few others.

I have a Home theatre DVD SC-PT460. Turned on this morning and the red stand by light is on but i cannot get it to come on?
the power supply in your DVD player may not have the proper voltage to the electronic switch and therefore the processor is in standby to protect the device.
Or you may have a remote that has left the unit in standby mode. check the user manual to see if this is the fact.
Checking manufacturers site in knowledge base usually has the solution for a "stand by mode" issue.
Or call and talk to a technical support rep.

I bought this DVD player from India when I try to play in US it's showing hn black and white
It's because the machine is set up to playback in the PAL standard, which is used in TV and video in other countries. You need to switch it to the NTSC standard that is used in the US. There is a switch on the back of your DVD player that needs to be changed. Switch it to NTSC, and all should be fine.

You can reference the owners manual on the FixYa site by going to the links below:

A friend told me thank you - and I didn't realise one had to pay on your site. I thought it was just a forum.
So please delete me from your records.
Thank you.

Hi;help me please about my dvd lg 5183;my dvd player cant read the all kind of cd dvd and somtimes the cd dvd RW .IT may be need a new firmware to upgrade it.what i can i do?please somone can sent to me a...
Hi I am Vortash firstly the site you can download all LG software from is listed at the end of this message .
One of the main problems anengineer sees with dvd machines is not reading ?. and 50% of the time there is nothing more wrong with the machine than it needs a good clean of the laser Lens . so before you do anything else invest in a good dvd/cd cleaner and put it in your machine . not only will it give you less trouble it will prolong the life of the machine also .
The problem you seem to be having is that maybe your using DVD's of the wrong region most players can only read one type depending on where you purchased the machine I:e Europe, USA , Asia . etc : 1 for the USA and 2 For europe 5 Kenya and so on so check the label first . I hope this helps with your problem ... Regards Vortash

When I plug the video out cable, I cannot see anthing, if i connect it to the "monitor" out I see the screen on black and white and scrolling over the screen (i don't know the exact name of that effect). When I plug the green-blue-red outs to the corresponding of my tv i see the same scrolling screen but in color. I thougth it was a problem of region code, but when I enter "country code" it asks me a couple of letters instead of a number. I hope you can help me. Sincerely yours Rafael
