"Disc Cannot Be Played... Please Check The Disc"?

El-cheapo Panasonic.

Tried two discs. Same message.

Put both discs in another player (similar make/model), they played no
problem.

Pulled the cover off, blew some air on the little laser thingie, then
wiped it
with a photographic lens cleaner.

Put it back together.... no-go.

I'm guessing this thing is toast.

Or is there some other simple procedure that I could try myself?

Try goggling the model number and/or error message, if it's a common problem
it may be on a website. Bought a Cyberhome that went bad after they went
belly up. Found a website with detailed instructions and pictures. Bad caps
in it's power supply lowers voltage that keeps the drive from reading the
discs.

Fixed an Emerson that couldn't read discs by pushing a ribbon cable into
it's socket. Sometimes you can get lucky just by looking and smelling
around.
