Player won't read disk

you need a new laser by the sounds of it

The DVD laser pickup is at the end of life, replacement of assembly the only option, cheaper to replace the combo unit.

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, the pladder motor is not working that spins the disk, and unfortuneately the only way to correct this is to replace the entire assembly which probably won't be cost effective.

if the disk is a Blueback, most modern PS2 consoles won't touch it. bluebacked disks still have their data stored in CD format rather than in a Data DVD

to play a Blueback
1. turn on the unit without a disk in
2. press Triangle on "browser"
3. scroll up to the top item and press triangle again
4. turn "Diagnostic Mode" ON
5. back out with circle, and start the browser
6. put your disk in with the browser on. is should read the disk

some disks will still cause the red screen (like cheat devices) occasionally

In order to see and read pdf's on mp3 players it must support a pdf reader. I must be put in the correct folder and the the pdf version (of the ebook) can't be newer than the pdf reader else it won't read it. Coby doesn't like pdf format as one that is automatically read by the player.

This is a common error with these units when they get dusty from putting dirty disks inside the drive. Just go to your local staples and or walmart and get a 5 dollar disk player cleaning kit. It looks like a plain cd but has small fibers that come out of the bottom of the disc that clean the laser as it spins and tries to read it.

Try a different dvd. some of them dont have enough depth to make a difference when viewing in 3d

My portable dvd player turns on and the disk does not spins but the screen turn light blue and does not read the disk
