WHY MY PORTABLE DVD WON'T PLAY

looks like your lcd is either bad or the plug has come loose. If you can get it apart, try reseating the cable to the display.

There are little gears to open the tray with a little rubber belt that drives it you should be able to open door and pull on tray to get disk out if not unplug it take top off push tray out Cheapper to replace player than to fix but little flap should pull down grab tray and pull

Often the tray is powered by a rubber belt. If the latter breaks or slips the try will not open/close. The motor will work and tell the electronics that all is well because it has done its job but it really hasn't since the tray is inert!

If it takes and accepts the disc but will not play it is either a mechanical issue (table not spinning the disc) or if not reading disc it is likely a dirty or bad optical pickup in the unit---

My guess would be that the switch inside that the tray hits to tell the dvd player it's closed is broken.

It depends how you burn movies (for example). If you burned as data disc, it's probably won't play it. Make sure you burn movies as DVD format.

Never force it, just use the remote.
If it won't stay in, unplug the unit and wait a while.
I think we get viruses from the TV signal which might be temporary (hopefully).

If the door does not close either something ( a coin or anything) got inside or there is a issue with the mechanism= alignment or possible bad part in that mechanism that loads and positions the disc.

A suggestion when door opens try to take a quick look inside with a flashlight to see what you can.

Use lens cleaner TDK or wash dvd disks with hot tap water then block off the water drops.

Hello,

this problem you are encountering is common with most portable DVD player's. The problem most at times is coming from the flex or screen inverter. The flex eventually worn out as a result of regular opening and closing of the player.

The screen displaying white is a symptom of bad flex or inverter.

To confirm, insert a disc into the player, press play. You should hear sound coming out of the speaker of the portable player even as it is playing.

Furthermore, connect an AV cord from the portable DVD player to your TV and you will eventually find out that it is going to display on your TV.

Having done the above, and having confirmed that the flex/inverter is that cause of the problem, please get back to me so that I may direct you further on what to do next.

Your sincerely.
