Hi, I have the above named DVD player, and for the price I paid, it has been an absolutely fantastic player for the last 18 months. :)
Today, A problem has started occuring >:( , After playing some of an mp3 disc (designed for laptop use), then trying 5 different DVD (back-up) copies I may have had delivered ??!!?? (just to see the quality), when I went back to a region 1 DVD of the Simpsons (legitimate) the DVD did not `load`, it does not seem to be spinning the disc fast enough to get the information off it, I tried a picture CD of my holiday and it played that (where I presume the disc speed is not as relevant), but it will not play a DVD ???
I hope and pray that when I try it tomorrow it will have fixed itself (Yea right !!).
Is my player Dying ? Anyone know of a cure ? Is it worth paying to get it fixed ?
As a last resort (as it has been a fantastic low cost player), what is the current favourite low-price DVD player in people`s opinions ?
Thanks Anthony

The MICO Clasica 20,is a one off. It was made with Panasonic parts & the best processor there was at the time. You`ll get something to replace it but I don`t think it will be as good, unless you go for the Panasonic player going for around £50.00 at the moment. Buy cheap at your will.

Hi My mico clasica 20 has just died it stopped spinning the discs and had most of the syptoms you are experiencing.I was still looking for a budget player so i opted for the cambridge audio dvd55 from richersounds i payed £80.00 and have found the picture and sound is superior to the mico.

I have one last attempt, I have never cleaned my DVD before, so I am waiting for a DVD lens cleaner to arrive off of eBay. I am hoping ;) that the disc is not spinning as it cannot find the information it requires.
If this fails, I will be on the look out for a new one, I have tried to view the last forum`s purchase but it is not downloading at the moment.
