DVD's load, play sound, but no picture!
If this is a flip top there is a little button that shuts off the screen when it closes if that button is stuck you will hear the audio and see nothing try flipping that button and see if you can pull it up

If you look very closely, is there an extremely dark picture, or a solid black screen? If it's an extremely dark picture, you just need a new backlight. If it's a black screen, you either have a bad connection (broken, shorted or unplugged cable), or need a new LCD. Let me know, and we'll go from there.

In that case you either need a new LCD, or more likely a cable going between the DVD player portion and the screen portion is unplugged or broken.
To find that, you'll have to take the housing off, and look for the cable that goes between them. If you're comfortable with it, just find the screws and remove the case. I'd suggest starting with the LCD half of the unit, as that is more likely to be where the problem is. Look for a cracked or disconnected cable. If you don't find it on that end, try the DVD portion of the player.
If there are no cable problems, you'll have to get a new LCD screen. You can try on eBay. Unfortunately, if you order one from the manufacturer, it usually costs more than just replacing the whole unit. The LCD is the most expensive portion of the player.

The screen looks as if it normally looks when it is turned off, no darker. Sorry, I could not reapond sooner, but I do not have access to the Inernet everyday.
