I put a disc into my pet710 and it starts to spin, and then in makes this scratchy sound, but it keeps spinning. I know that when it makes that sound the spinning of the disc slows down, then it speeds back up. The screen just reads "loading". After the disc has been in the player for a little while the screen reads "no disc" and this is all it will do. Does anyone know what this problem could be, and maybe how to fix it? I appreciate any help. Thanks:)
The problem is in the motor replace the laser motor...
Our unit was dropped and we experiened exactly the same problems. We solved it by using the above method of moving the lens carrage.
Now we have the problem of the DVD freezing mid way through. Any ideas?
I had this problem (my child dropped the unit) so ilifted the lid and just gently moved the little thing that moves the lens back and forth (don't touch the lens) first out and then back to the centre. This must have realigned it on the track after being moved after a small drop. Seemed to work fine after this. These units should be better made to survive a short drop - after all they are portable and this would imply moving them regularily so the chance of falling is very high.
Have you dropped your player? I dropped mine and I am experiencing the same problems. I'm trying to find information on how to fix it.

I am unsure if it was dropped. It belongs to our daughter, so there is a good possibility that someone might have dropped it.
My problem with the Philips PET706 is the same - put the disc in, it says 'loading' three scratchy noises and it says no disc.
I tried moving the slide fully in and out by hand (over-riding the worm drive)as one reply said, but it made no difference.
Have managed to open the lid but still get it to operate start up by placing a probe in the contact hole, so I can see what is happening.
It spins, says 'loading' the slide moves into the centre and retreats, making the scratchy noise, it does this three times then says 'no disc'
At no time is there a light in the laser; should there be at this stage ?
Closed the lid and keeps saying the door open
