Cyberhome DVR 1600 DVD Recorder Logo

My Cyberhome DVR 1600 is dead.

Earlier it used to bring "no disk" message. Now it does not not even open the disc drive but as soon as I try to open the drive, it brings up all the messages like " Open" "close" "Load" and then "no disc" in series.

I think it is not recognising any.

Any help can be appreciated well.

If it is powering up it is NOT the power supply that is at fault. If the door won't open it is likely the belt that moves the tray.

Unplug the unit and remove the screws holding the case shut.
On the left side you will see a metal plate that is the top hold down for the DVDs.
Remove the four screws and pull up on the plate. There will be some resistance as the top spinner is held in place to the spindle by a magnet.
Plug in the unit but DO NOT touch anything on the right side where the power comes in!
Power on the unit and hit the eject button. If the tray slides out now you are partly in luck.
With the tray ejected unplug the power.
Partially push in the tray and look along the front. You will see a small pulley (motor) and a large pulley. There will be a "rubber band" looking drive belt there. Likely that drive belt is dry rotted.
Getting one is the trick. I'd suggest rescuing one from an old CD/DVD drive from a computer.

    If you are lucky enough to have an electronics supply shop near you they will have them.

Heat related.  Google "Cyberhome DVR-1600" "power supply" (with the quotes included) for answers...or look elsewhere in this forum.

Hi,

It would appear that this posting represents two (2) separate problems; 1) dead set; and 2) No Disc.

Dead set indicated by "will not come on, no time dislay, disc door will not open" is power related. It could be a fuse, power supply, switching regulator. Repairs would require familiairty with electronic components and circuitry, use of a DVM and a soldering iron. Additionally, acces to a service manual or at the very least a schematic diagram would help in pinpointing defective components.

No Disc - would appear to be a "laser eyer". Am afraid that this is indicative of a weakening optics or the laser. You can of course still give it a cleaning using CD ROM cleaner normally used for computers. Additionally you can try using a can of compress air to force out any dust inside the unit. Other than that all other actions would require opening the unit for a look and see, manual cleaning or worst case scenario, parts replacement.

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.

Cannot format an empty dvd recordable disc

Only DVD-RW discs can be formatted. If it is a DVD-R and you have already tried recording on it, the disc will be unusable. If the disk is not formatting, it might be defective. Try using another disk in the drive to make sure it isn't your DVD drive itseld that is broken.

Cyberhome DVR 1600 DVD

What format are you recording in?If the recorder is set for DVD +R, and your playback machine won't read the disc, you may need to record on a DVD-R, or a DVD +-R. Or vice-versa. Some DVDRW discs will record on one machine and won't play on another. The media are incompatible. Another problem - if you are copying a copy-protected disc, it might not play back either. Are you sure you are finalizing the disc? This process takes 4-5 minutes and requires two or three responses sometime.

No disk

Hi. I have this problem with my unit. After a lot of research on the net it apperars that this is caused by problems with the laser pickup. The laser is either dead or is on its way out and doesn't have the strength it needs to read sensitive DVDs but is OK with Audio CDs.

A lot of CyberHome units have this problem due to the poor quality of the laser pickup units they use. I have been told that they have since gone bankrupt. If it is still under warranty then it you may be able to get it repaired but otherwise it may be cheaper to get new unit.

Hope this helps
