I recently aquired a Maxim MX11-21 DVD player from a friend, who had never used it. I am able to set everything up, and it seems to work fine, but it won`t read discs. No matter what region dvd I put in (and whether I set it to 0 for multi or on the specific region), it gives the Loading prompt and then switches to "No Disk".
Any ideas on the problem and possible solutions?

I`ve got one of those. Fortunately mine is working well. But when it does go faulty it`s in the recycling at the local council tip.
They only cost £25 new. Forget it you can get a new DVD player from £15 upwards nowadays.

Well...sure. But if it is something fixable, I would hate to just throw it out. My grandmother raised me differently than that. :)

I live near a TV and electronics repair shop (I don`t work for them). Their minimum charge is £10. Add parts the bill would probably be over £20 (I am an Electronics Engineer so do my own repairs and know where to get spares at trade prices). It would not be worth the time and effort to take it there when I could walk the other way to Richer Sounds, Argos etc. and get one from £15.00 with years guarantee. Repairs come with a one to three month guarantee depending on final repair price.
