LG BD530 Blu-Ray Player Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 31, 2011

My LG BD530 suddenly stopped playing DVDs yesterday. It still will play Blue-Ray discs, but rejects every DVD with a "check disc" error. It had played everything fine for 2 months. I updated the software, but that didn't help. LG service is saying I'll have to send it in to them. Any other suggestions before I kiss it goodbye for 6-8 weeks?

    Um, thanks, but I already tried that ("I updated the software, but that didn't help").

    Mine recently stopped playing all DVDs as well. When it first started saying "No Disc" while trying to play a DVD, it would eventually work after 20 or so times of ejecting and closing. Now it won't play DVDs at all. Today it also started to take quite a while longer to even load BluRay discs. Not looking good...

Error message when my Blue Rays reads dvds

It's a software issue. you need to ring the manufacturer to get files and instructions on how to upgrade your machine so it can play the newer blu ray movies. Quite a common problem.

Disc Error when I try to play a dvd LG DP781

Hi,

Sounds like either a dirty or weak laser/lens. Pls try cleaning with a CD disc cleaner or manually using cotton buds (if the eye is accessible).

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

you have probably to clean up your dvd player with a clean up CD. After that if your dvd player doesn't want to read a dvd but play a cd, your laser output must be to fix. you'll have to go to a specialist.

Won't Read blank disc!!

I my DVD-HR735 wont recognise any discs at times, and is getting worse. I've now discovered (out of frustration) that if I tip the front up to between 30-45 degrees, it will play all the discs it says were unreadable. I've started jamming three dvd boxes under the front of the machine when i want to play dvds.
