Is my Blu-ray laser broke?

Hi all. My system won't play BD discs anymore. I get a "NoREAD" error message on the player and "Cannot read. Please check disc" on the TV. I can hear the player "clicking" as though it is trying to read the disc. After several attempts it stops and that's when the error messages are displayed. The system will detect CD and also DVD and plays normally. I have tried a factory reset to no avail. I believe that the laser is broke and therefore will need to replace the BD unit. Any idea if I can get a replacement and install it myself (unit well out of warranty). Or does anyone have any other ideas I can try. I am in the UK. Thanks all. Paul

Yes you can replace the laser yourself should be easy go and look on eBay or Amazon I would take out your old one first and get the model number from it.

    Thank you for your answer. Do you mean I can replace the laser from within the disc player or the complete disc player? The part for the complete player is VXY2044 but I can not locate this here in the UK. Anyone any ideas? Thanks

The laser mechanism has lost its ability to focus properly. Not cost effective to repair. Get a new one.

My blu ray player won't play the hunger games

Need more info. Does the player accept the disc? If so, do you hear the disc spinning inside? If not, what does the player do? Does it kick the disc back out? Will this player accept and play other discs?

Standard DVDSs are read by a red laser while blue ray DVDs are read by a blue laser (hence the name). The blue laser diode is likely to be faulty and therefore standard dvds work but blue ray dvds do not. This is not an easily obtainable or replaceable part.

Bu-ray will not read blu-ray dvd's

Reason it won't play blu-ray's now is because the laser is to weak. The laser requires a different strength to read the diffferent discs and if the laser is weak in any way then it will error out or freeze up. Either way you'll have to get a new player cause you cant get parts for it.

Blue ray quit recognizing non BR disc

The non-blu-ray laser lens needs cleaning.

Try not to use a blast of compressed air.

Radio Shack has a lens cleaner ($13). it is an audio CD with a row of brushes on it.
