1600 DVR disc don't spin anymore

The unit was acting strange so I took off the outer cover and the metal plate inside that has the white plastic 1 and 1/2 " circular disk with a small metal inner disk that's less then a 1/4" across. This interfaces with the inner black disk that is attached to the gray plate that is just underneath the loading tray. You can feel the magnetic pull as you interface the two together. The problem is nothing spins up. I own a Cyberhome 300 and the mechanism seems almost the same and when you load a disk in, it spins up immediately. Is there any fix or special way the two disk are suppose to interface that will make it spin again? The unit seems to be fine in all other areas, comes on, shows the time, the tray opens etc but simply will not spin up.

No spin

Power off the mains. The filter is located behind the silver plate at the back of the machine at the bottom. Four screws hold it on. Drain out all the water. The filter is inside the big black rubber hose attached between the pump and the main drum. Remove the plastic clip holding it to the pump unit and then the metal cir clip holding it to the main drum. Inside is a white molded cone and a big white ball which floats. You will find a lot of junk here, clean out thoroughly. To refit put white cone back inside just as you found it, at the bottom, fit ball back into the cone. Attach to the bottom to the drum and re-fasten the cir clip. Finally reconnect the gator to the pump unit and tighten the plastic clip. Check out the pump too before reconnecting.
And rate me plz……………………….

Liteon LVW-1105HC will not record

I had the same problem.
This is what worked like a charm for me:
Take off the top cover and locate the drive.
On top of the drive will be a metal plate with a plastic circle in the middle.
This holds the disk in place when spinning.
Locate 2 little black screws which holds the plate on.
Loosen the screws slightly until the the tray opens.
If it is too tight the tray gets stuck.
I put two tiny pieces of double sided tape, about 1/16 of an inch, as spacers next to the screw holes so the plate stays tight.
It may not be necessary but I did it anyway.

Good luck and I hope it works for you too.

No disc displayed

The disc won't spin until the unit recognizes that there is actually a disc there. Try cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. If that fails, try playing a CD. If the CD plays, the optics are starting to fail as reading a DVD requires higher laser power.

DVD RW stucked - stall the whole system.

Hi, I found this site today cos I had a similar problem. To cut a long story short I found a slot on the bottom of the machine, below the disc tray, that has a white lever in it. After removing the power source I moved the lever to the side and the tray opened manually so I could remove the disc. It seems It was a duff DVDR as other discs now work fine. Good luck !
