Nexxtech ESDVD100 DVD player gone bad, how to replace?

yes

change the disc spin motor

I solved the problem by buying a new DVD player- wouldn't have been able to replace a motor, and repair cost is as much as a new purchase-the times we live in! Thanks for the info which helped me make the decision.

I had to gently clean the lense with a q-tip with just a hint of rubbing alcohol on it then move the laser carriage all the way out and in two or three times then play a CD for the player to work again. There was a fine layer of dust around the laser so I think that it may be very sensitive to that kind of thing.

If the player is doing that for all DVDs but playing CDs properly, the player has gone bad due to either the laser and lens being out of whack or the DVD drive just doesn't recognise DVDs anymore and needs repaired or replaced.

Sorry. Best of luck.

Mine started doing this just the other day and stopped playing the DVD it was playing. I found a solution for a portable player that worked on this one. You need to open it, eject the tray and slide the laser carriage back and forth all the way two or three times gently and by grabbing on to plastic that hooks around the metal bar on the right if you are facing the player from the front. Then plug it in and play a CD all the way through and this recalibrates the laser.

I wonder how many people throw away their DVD players when this is all it needs. Makes me sick to think about it.

Someone on this site suggested a fix for a different player.  Open up the unit to get to the dvd changer.  If the disk are not aligned, then push them so they are even.  It may take a while to see where they are but it worked for me.

Just wire your TV audio out to one of the receivers (DVD player) audio in and select AUX when you want the TV sound to play through the surround sound. You also might want to turn the volume down or off on your TV to get the full surround sound feeling, but that's your call.

I have the same problem with my esdvd100 were it stop recoginze my dvd or cd. msg: No Disk

it would help to know what machine your playing these in . your media seems to be have recorded inna different format maybe your discs are not burned properly maybe theres a fault in your machine i would take it back to the shop or the media back the shop oh and if burning you must not use ne other program its probably your using media that is not finalized or your machine isnt designed to play them discs your using
