Question

What can I do if some DVD's play, and others don't?

Community Answer

Try your DVDs in other players. If they don't work there, they might be damaged or need cleaning. Otherwise, it is possible that your DVD player lens has weakened.

What should I do if my DVD player says "no disc" after putting it in?

First, clean the disc. Then, clean the laser lens. If it still does this, take to be repaired.

How often should I clean the lens in a DVD player?

Top Answerer

As long as you keep the player closed, it should be able to last for about 5-15 years before being cleaned again. They're designed to not get very dirty.

Question

How do I clean a DVD player, and what can I use?

Community Answer

Unless you are a technician, stay out of the inside. Use a cleaner disc. If you are a tech and have to go inside, use a lens cleaner from a camera store or your eye doctor. Do not use alcohol or glass cleaner.
