Any dvd i put in does not read the disc.
Either your lens of the dvd player is dirty or the dvd's you put in have no data on them
How to fix the "No disc" message and let the player play your disc successfully? You can try these: 1. Before you try anything to examine or fix your DVD player, it's suggested that you make sure the disc you are trying to play is intact and well. 2. If you are sure that there is something wrong with your player, you can press the "Eject" or "Open" button on the DVD player to disc tray to determine if it opens easily and does not appear jammed or hindered. If the disc tray appears to open slower than usual or fails to open, the disc may not sit flush in the tray or otherwise be seated properly. 3. Most of the DVD "No disc" problems are caused by the glitch of DVD laser lens.
Dvd player reads no disc with some dvds not all, will read and play a couple without a problem
SOURCE: DVD Player stops reading disc Error message :
usually this happens when lens cannot read the the disc. Due to few reason
1 Your disk is scratched
2 Your DVD lens is covered with dust
3 You need to replace DVD lens
Try another few CD/DVD to rectify whether there is any problem with dvd you are trying to play
if this error occurs on all the dvd you played then the most likely proble is with your DVD lens
either its coverd with dust use Disk cleaner if not you got to replace a new DVD lense as per model

Hello Chris,
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your dvd player, but hopefully we can get it back up and working for you again. There are some common problems that players may experience as time goes on and will give you error messages like "no disc", "wrong disc", "unable to read disc", etc. The good news is that most of them are not expensive to fix. I will list them in the order in which they usually occur.
1. The discs become scratched or dirty- Since the optical assembly uses a laser to read the discs as they spin any scratch or dirt (commonly finger prints) will cause the device to no read them properly. If you hold the disc up to the light and tilt it back and forth you will be able to see any defects. This does not sound like your problem because it is happening with every disc you place in your player, but the information may be helpful to you in the future. You can purchase a disc cleaning kit at just about any store that sells electronics such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, etc. You can purchase an electric one (cost a bit more) or a manual one in which you turn a knob (cheapest). They are not expensive and will help keep your discs in good working order. You could possibly take them to a local video or gaming store and in some cases they will clean one or two for you for free, but they may charge a small fee for any more than that. You can call any of these stores in your area and see what they can do for you. You can also clean the discs manually, but this will not remove scratches (click the link for step by step instructions from my tips and tricks).
2. The Optical Reading lens is dirty- This sounds more along the lines of what could be causing your problem. You can also purchase a cleaning kit at the same stores I mentioned previously or you can clean the lens manually (you can click the link to my tips and tricks for more detailed information on how to do this). The following are example pictures to give you a better idea of what to look for:
Example picture of the optical lens:
3. The spindle motor is malfunctioning- The spindle motor is what spins the discs so that the laser can read the data. If the disc is not spinning at all, it is a sign that the part is not working properly. You can determine this by a visual inspection (remove the case top and see if the disc is spinning or by listening really close when you insert the disc into the machine). In the following link, I go over in more details about the common mechanical failures in these types of devices.
4. The laser assembly has malfunctioned- This problem is a bit more expensive to repair if it turns out to be the cause. If the laser is not firing properly, it will not be able to read the disc data. I also discuss this in the common mechanical failure tip and plus there are some other failures that I go over and provide pictures of.
Please remember to always take great caution when working inside electronic equipment because of SHOCK hazards. Even if a device is unplugged it can still deliver a shock from the capacitors because they can hold an electrical charge for some time even after the device is unplugged. Take caution as well when dealing with any type of LASER because they can cause eye damage and in some cases severe burns.
If you find that the problem is more in depth like having to replace a spindle motor or laser assembly, I suggest you to take the device to a qualified technician for repair unless you feel 100% comfortable doing it yourself or have training because of personal injury or causing further damage to the device.
I think that if you clean the optical lens first it will more than likely solve the problem, but I wanted to mention the other ones and provide you with as much information as possible to help you solve the issue. I sincerely hope that the information I provided helps you solve the problem and save you some money. Please let me know if you need further assistance or have any other questions. I wish you the very best and hope you have a good weekend.
If you would not mind, please rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You

Check formatted disc see if it's +R,-R and see if Toshiba will play homemade disk or just disc recorded in different format.

if its still under warranty, do that.
if it's not, try taking it back to the store and asking for a replacement. don't let the floor salesman tell you no. insist on speaking to the manager. my strategy is to: "be polite, appear slightly stupid, and dont take no for an answer" it works 80-90% of the time.
if you cant get anywhere (or dont want to try that route), then you have nothing to lose. open the case and try to clean the mechanism and lens
two screws on either side of the unit, and i think another 4 screws on the back side. this will allow you to pull the top cover off the unit.
clean the mechanism, and clean the lens. you can buy cleaner if you want, but i just use a soft cloth and some "no-streak" type window/glass cleaner (windex)
clean your disks as well. this DVD player seems to be sensitive to scuffs and dust more than some other players. you just have to be persistent.
or you could buy another DVD player. at $60, its really a pretty good deal anyhow.
good luck
SOURCE: It won't read disc. After loading, it reads No Disc
Sounds like a read error fault , possibly a laser malfunction sometimes dirt on the lens will cause this try a good CD cleaner if this is no good I suggest a free engineers estimate at least you can then ask again on here how to fix it . My honnest guess is either a duff laser or software corruption . I have known seating of the tray to cause this also not returning fully back into machine , usually caused by children and alien matter ? shall we say such as choclate or M&MS kids shove stuff everywhere ? bless them lol
hope this helps Regards Vortash
