Hi, I have Philips HTS 3181, While running Audio CD, power suddenly went off and power came back...DVD Drive is not opening, please help

hi,lg lh d6230a home theater player display show the dvd error but not opening cd room .why this wrong please help me.send me reply

It's possible that this DVD is not from the same region as the DVD player.
For instance, a DVD from India (region 5) will not play in a DVD player from the US (region 1).
You may want to check into that and post a reply here.

hi,
Normally a dvd player shows the message NO DISC when,
1. The disc inserted is bad.
2 The lase pickup unit inside the dvd lost its reading intensity, dirty lens or the spindle motor damaged .

In your case the second one happened. the intensity of the laser pickup unit has lost or the spindle motor faulty or there is some dust on its lens. just insert a cleaning cd in it for two or three times. then check again is the DVD is reading or not

if the problem remains then you have to check the motor and the laser pickup unit. the lase pickup unit have two laser emitter and receiver in its inside . one for reading and playing DVDs and the other for CD and MP3. also the spindle motor runs in different speed when u insert dvd and cd.

Open the cover of your dvd player and power it on insert an audio cd and watch is it reading or not also notice the speed of the spindling of the cd. if the audio cd reads and play. then the possible problem is the spindle motor

To conform it remove the audio cd and insert a dvd. watch the rotation of the dvd. if it feel very hard to rotate it then, the spindle motor is damaged. if so replace the spindle motor if it runs more the the speed of than audio cd then the laser pickup unit is faulty. Then u have to replace the laser pickup unit.
if you need any further assistance from me , feel free to contact me through fixya.
ok

You won't get voltage if you completely disconnect the lcp106830 power supply from the board. The connection to the front panel is required and is used as feedback. I just repaired one and found one of the power diodes faulty.

Hi,
I have a region Code For A Philips HTS-3544 which is 1 model Down. You can try it, it may work or it May Not.
Heres How:- power on the TV/DVD without any disk in the player.Press open/close eject.
Press Stop 7.3.4.4.6.6 ( on the Remote )
The menu code appears On The Screen.
Press 0 for region Free, or the region Code Required.
Power Off and then on Again, if the codes have worked, your dvd player is now region free.

If this works please rate as Fixya.

many thanks mike @ Compurepair.

i had the same ploblem sometime last year and all i did was to put a cleaning disk(the ones with a cleaning brush on) in it a couple of times...and it works fine since then!

Hi, the best thing to do is to reset the device back to factoy settings, how to do that is mostly written in your manual. Also unplugging the power for 5 to 10 minutes might help.

I am having problems with my car, 2004 aveo automatic, suddenly stop while driving, everything works just don't want to start, I was doing 65 mile on the free way and gradually went down to 50, 40 30 all the way down to eventually stopped and wouldn't start no more could somebody please advice me what it is.

Ok looks llike a lens problem..Try this
Get a lens cleaner CD with liquid..Put two drops of liquid on the brush of the lens cleaner..insert the CD in your drive and play it..If it plays fine otherwise you will need to replace the lens..Get it replaced rather..should run you about 25-50$.If you want to get it repaired give it for repair only in a Philips showroom..
Good luck!
