Default Alba DVD 108 not playing dvds

Hi!I just got this Alba DVD108 given to me!But it doesnt like to play dvds
occasionaly.And also only play certain dvds,but cant find a pattern in which
ones it likes and dont!Like it plays burnt ones fine,but not originals some
times.Its a multiplayer in the sense that it plays mp3,cds and other
formats!
I tried musicCDs and they work fine no problems,Also jpegs,and other formats
like avi seems to work fine
Any clues?
Oh,just remembered,when it does play DVDs it seem to get stuck a bit in on
the DVD,not carrying on freezes like
Yours
Tom

No doubt it was given to you precisely because the previous owner was having
problems with it.

Most common issue with DVD players is a bad pickup. Sorry. This puts it way
out of the range of an economical repair, even if parts are available (which
they probably aren't anyway for a cheapie).

They're a waste of 10 bucks too, just pop the cover off the thing and
carefully dust off the lense.

Or a dollar at the dollar store but still useless and possibly dangerous to
your drive.

probably the worst advice you could give is to use a cleaning disc.
Reason? THEY DON'T WORK. a q-tip moistened with alcohol or maybe window
claening solution is cheaper and 100% more effective.
