HELP WANTED!!! DVD Player (LG RC68223) won`t read any DVDs only CDs

GPATRS (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Thursday, 8th March 2007, 07:56

Bought it nearly 3 years ago and just this morning after recoding during night I wanted to set on the player. I just hitted the eject button instead, no problem I just press that again to pop in the dvd, but instead of playing it it said: "Unrecognized dvd please chech the disk" (or similar, cause it was in Swedish).

First time it happens!

And it won`t recognize any other dvd (bought dvd, region 1 or 2, home made dvd, dvd-r, dvd-rw any of them)

Could it be so that the laser is boken, the one for playing dvds, cause their is one other I think, for playing cds, and it plays them fine!

But imagine I just like 7 hours ago recorded during night 2 hours and in the morning just did as mentioned above and boom, now it won`t recogineze any DVD! (How strange is that???)

Now I`ve only unpluged it and leaving it to reset itself to factory seetings, how long does it usually takes? Maybe it will recover, who knows?

If you have any experience of similar accidents or any suggestions just write back!!! Because I love this dvd-recorder so much, it`s brilliant, but not any longer.

usally unpluging the machine a while would do it but if not check your manual
for the sequence to set it manually to factory/virgin mode that should do it
switch off then on again.

( in all accounts it probably overheated )

should work o.k when you power it up.

Since the warranty still was valid it went to service and without any cost!

It turned out they changed the whole dvd unit and the test after was ok!

So something was definetly wrong with the dvd unit since they chaged it!

Hopefully I will recieve it tomorrow or the day after.

o.k cool, good job you kept warrenty on it which meens it was maybe a couple of months
old. the reader may have worked loose from its track therfore missing the disk completely

(kinda like the way old version ps2 went and had to mess about to get it realigned)

good luck with your new one (personlly i would go for a different model when that happens least till that make upgrade thier components!!)
