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 |

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).

PainintheAmp ha escrito: before you toss the thing , try running a DVD cleaner disk through it..theyre about 10 bucks at Walmart 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. |
