I have a DVD player that just recently started to stick/freeze at different points through a movie. It is different points each time and I have tried different movies-new movies(straight from the box)-old movies, all with the same result (hence, it is not the DVDs themselves). Sometimes if you leave it, the DVD will skip to another part of the movie or just stall and do nothing. Play, stop, fast forward...nothing works except shutting the player off. There is also a mechanical sound when it freezes as if it is trying to do something but not able to. I have also tried spraying it out with an air can to no avail. Any further suggestions?

Unplug player from wall receptical, and detach any other leads that plugged into it, press and hold power for at least 2 minutes in an attempt to clear the microprocessor controller ic, if this fails! you may have to take the top off to manually eject the DVD.
Some rented discs won't play becauses of scratches and dirt, if other DVD 'S work it is not your player, but if all won't play try a DVD cleaning kit and follow instructions.
freezing is a sign of poor signal , if you connect to cable , try a DVD player if the picture still freeze that mean the TV is bad and has to be returned and replaced. if the picture is good with DVD player as your service provider to give you a better service by boosting the signal
The problem is the laser pickup assembly in the dvd, If it freezes the stepper motor which drives the worm gear along with the laser carriage is the problem, the precision in tracking is critical and any interference causes the picture to freeze. If you have any warranty on the unit I would encourage you to take it back for possible exchange, because it will get worse and finally become unusable.
