Sony portable DVD player wont load DVDs

Ebay

Unfortunately you can not buy a new battery since it is not sold by Sony. It is possible to patch a similar cell into your existing battery. Be warned that it would be difficult to do this.

Exchange the laser unit. On this sets this a known problem (at least for me it worked).

here is an answer anyway--if will not play a disc "cannot play disc etc" usually it is either a dirty or bad optical pickup in the unit.

Sounds like you may need a new remote for your Sony DVP-FX730.

Hi,
I'm afraid, there is no way to change region code in Sony dvd players including DVP-FX730
I'm sorry for that.
Thanks.

Too vague of a questionbut here goes. 1. Check disc for scratches. Could be directory is corrupt. 2. Are you sure it is eitrher an Audio CD or a Video DVD? If it is a computer data CD it won't play. If it is a DVD Rom it won't play either.

Croikie!!!

See if there's a factory reset option in the menu

Also,try cleaning the laser lens with 90% alcohol and a swab ( Gently) then buff it dry

There should be a "hold" button to the left of the headphone jack that you can slide and it should stop your screen from displaying "hold on".
