Ok...I'm tired of buying new electronics because everything is throw away-junk. I want to be able to fix it myself. Hope you can help.
As with many problems that I have seen here my DVD-R130 will not recognize any DVD. The funny thing is that if I let it sit for a while somtimes it will play a movie. I am referring only to purchased DVDs nothing that I have recorded.
Any help will be appreciated. BTW, I have 2 other cheap players that do the same thing.
Thanks!
My Dvd-R130 appears to be recording but when I try to playback I get an error message saying to check the disk. Sometimes when I try to record it will only record for about 7 seconds then it automatically stops and turns itself off. This recorder is under a year old. When I called Samsung they told me the parts were covered under warranty but it would cost nearly $70.00 for labor to repair it, and I would have to mail it. Please help if you have any suggestions.My Dvd-R130 appears to be recording but when I try to playback I get an error message saying to check the disk.

I had the same problem and after reading and trying allot of disks I found the following to work.
Used
Maxell - RW disk. Did a complete format on my computer (takes a while).
Burned a DVD using Vista DVD burner with only a Jpg as per one of the
other posts. Once the disk plays. Stop and goto disk management and
format using DVD-V (VR did not work).
I know its not pretty but at least its better than throwing it in the garbage bin.

Someone with electronic troubleshooting experience will need to look at it. You might spend as much to fix it as buy a new one. Don't throw it away, someone will buy it like that on eBay or Craigslist. Sell it "as-is", disclose " will not power on".
The laser has most likely failed. These are "throw away" devices since they are rediculously cheap. Buy a new Samsung or Sony for under $100 at Best Buy or Walmart.
Sorry to say that those Cyberhome DVD players are basically "Throw-Aways" (junk). The good news is that you can buy a DVD player at Walmart for about $25. I believe that would be your best solution.
Hello K4, hi you can manually get the disk out, but you need to remove the cover. As for the power thing, you have a power supply problem, would you like to service it yourself or call a technician, If you will service it yourself, this are the things you should check:
fuse
open wirings
shorted or over heating rectifier diodes and voltage regulator
bulging filter capacitors
Switching regulator IC, check for the output pulse using a scope.
The player uses a different laser to read dvd's in respect to cd's. Either there's dust on the laser (or lens) and it needs cleaning or the dvd laser unit is busted - it can't be fixed, junk it and buy a new one.
Throw it away an buy a new one. WalMart's dvd's and all their electronics stuff are produced in china without any quality control and from the cheapest components. They aren't even worth repair. Buy a branded DVD (SAMSUNG, Sony) to avoid future problems.
am toshiba authorized servicer-have same model in shop for same problem-dvd board is defective-new board is about 290 from toshiba america parts-tv is actually made by orion with toshiba name stuck on outside-orion is junk-cost more than new set to fix-junk it and buy a panasonic-so far they still make their oun stuff
