My Insignia NS-8PDVDA Portable DVD player loads and plays a movie fine for about 10 minutes and then the sceen freezes. Then I have to turn the whole thing of and load again. It will not forward or stop after freezing. How to I fix this or is it toast?
You may have a problem with the transport of the dvd laser. Open the compartment that you place the dvd into. You will see the spindle,the laser lens and the transport device that moves it during operation. The transport system operates on system of gears and drive rails. You must check and clean the drive rails and gears. Use a can of compressed air and blow all the dust and debris from the dvd compartment. Then use some cotton swabs with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the tips and clean all the rails and gears. Check the transport action by moving the transport to its most outer position and back to its most inner position. The action and travel of the transport on the rails should be smooth and easy. The gears should be clean and move easy also.These parts will require cleaning every month or so . Remember do not touch the laser lens with your hand. You should also check the lens it should look bright and shine. If not try cleaning it with a cotton swab and a small amount of alcohol. Rub the lens gently back and forth unit it is bright and shines.Now you can try playing a dvd and see if the player works properly. If this does not fix you problem.

My Coby DVD player freezes all the time while I am driving. The movie starts up and a few mintues later the movie freezes and starts again if I shake it. I just purchased the DVD player last month. Do you have a solution?
