tv/dvd doctor wanted

[hjs]

Any recommendtions?

Have a tv/dvd combo in playroom, rarely used as i stupidly don’t have anywhere for them to sit in there – soon to be remedied I hope- and when i went to put a dvd in the other day, none will load at all.

Could well be that its as cheap to just get a new one as get it repaired I guess, but seeing as we’ve only had it a year and not much use out of it, wlt give repairs a go if anyone has any suggestions of who?

I have a dvd-cleaner, it’s a dvd that’s meant to clean the dvd player.
It’s not a miracle, but it can help, often it doesn’t.
It did improve ours a little, but at the end, we got a new combi.

Anyway, if you want to borrow it, let me know.
I would not buy it it’s nearly 10 euro and no garanties.

you can now buy cheap DVD players in tescos for €17! Got one about 9 months ago and still going strong!

If Fabienne’s cleaning disc doesn’t work I would imagine that its the DVD laser gone for a hop and that would cost more to replace than buying a new one.

Obviously you tried one or two different discs as if too scratched it wont pick them up..

If the telly still works just hook it up to a cheapo dvd player.

You say you have only had it for 1 year..maybe you could return to the shop? And say it was barely used?

thanks all

what i didnt make clear is that it almost certainly has and maystill have something unceremoniously shoved into the disc loading bit at the side by ds, which prob has damaged / is damaging dvd laser bit thingy. Is going wall mounted so really would prefer an all in 1 thing .

did not try disc cleaning thing yet so will give a go but not hop0eful 🙁

we have the same problem here, try murphys on the cross lanes (beside the hospital car park)
we had trouble with the ps3 and dh had a look before i took it back to the shop… dvd wouldnt load, turned out there were 5 DVD SHOVED INTO THE UNIT!!!!!! once we got the discs out it worked fine… take off teh wall and give a little shake, my have a few extra dvd’s in there 😆 😆 😆 😆
