When I put the disc in it starts to load and tehn a messagE " NO VALID DISC"

Hello
The Sled Motor is defective. this is the motor, whic spins the disc as it has been loaded properly. If the loader mechanism loads the disc properly into place and if the catch up magnet catches the disc in place, and still the dis do not spins, replace the sled motor. OK.

did you try another dvd? if yes, and still having issues, sounds like you got a defect product.

it appears yous direct drive motor is damaged. When a disc does not spin, it will say the same as a bad disc. You can easily get this fixed, but not cost efficient. Better off replacing it the component.

that click click is the laser trying to focus and it is hitting the disc.
the biggest failure is the disc motors.they are very tiny motors and if they do not spin fast enough,the laser can not get the info it needs.
sometimes banging on it lightly while it is focusing will get the disc to spin.
with the price of new ones,it is not worth repair.
that is why i got out of the repair biz in 1995

1. when you're burning your dvds, burn at the lowest speed possible, and use high quality media like sony

2. clean your lens

3. if that doesn't work, clean out the whole ps2

i use swap magic on the same model ps2, and occasionally get this message on lower quality media

I had tried cleaning the lens like most solutions said to do, with no luck. I tried what user gthumm said he/she tried, which was taking off the back of the player. Their problem was the white wheel (motor) and the next wheel (black) were not turning smoothly. He/she pushed the white wheel down until it snapped back in, allowing the wheels to turn. I tried it twice and finally, I have a working portable dvd player again! Yeah! Thank you so much gthumm and fix ya team! My kids especially thank you! You are the BEST!

try to clean the lens using cd cleaner or cotton buds with drop of water on it. that really works.

Is this movie a copy put onto a blank disc?

Not all players can read copied discs.

I was told that they could reset it but I can not find a number on this company

Yep sone of a gun ! With the Toshiba Portable DVD Player, hold the "Mode button" down for several seconds and it will make a chain saw noise take your finger off, hit it again once and bingo now it works. I was ready to throw this player in the trash!
