Great Help. Had my lil own problem, I droped BD player. I tried two catch it but instead bearlely touched my hand and the second hit was on the floor. Been weeks trying to fix it and even though I fixed the loose things and even krazied glued broken parts and it was a hassle putting it back to its right full place, it still wouldn`t play any disc then i finaly ended up watching this video. Tried the first solution two times and finaly worked, thank God!!!! I am so happy, saved some money and fixed the Magnavox BD player thanks to this video. THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

I have an LG390 blu-ray and I was getting a "no disc" message. Your video inspired me to open up my player and give it a try. The LG390's disc drive is enclosed in a metal box so there was a little more work to get to the lenses, the face cover had to come off to open the disc drive box. I used a damp (water) q-tip and then polished with the dry end, the lenses looked perfectly clean to start with but I cleaned them any way. I partly reassembled the player and voila it worked I did not touch the pots. My favorite part of the video was "and she whsipered "Tv's not on."" Thanks
@maltydog9 жыл бұрын
ken bevry As you mentioned, the LG390 is a little more complicated, I was very nervous taking off that metal box but I finally got it off. I had to use scissors to cut a label holding the metal box on the player, and I realized after I closed the cover and was turning the player to the side to screw the case back on that I had left the scissors in the player! Anyway, I cleaned the lens, which was pretty easy to get to once you took the metal box off, then I looked for the capacitors, but I didn't see them anywhere. Anyway, when I closed the cover and put a disc in that I couldn't play before, I see that it is playing fine. Keeping fingers crossed that this stays like this for a while. I also have a Phillips DVD player that I use for other region DVDs, that I am having issues with, I will try the same thing with that. Nothing to lose, after all!

I was already in the market for a replacement of my LG BD660 when it started acting up like this. Watching your video at the beginning made me laugh when after you clean the laser it still did not work. But when you started tweaking the 3 potentiometer and made it work, I immediately open my BD660 and did exactly what you did and OMG! it worked. Now I have a new working player. Thanks a million to you.

@PackardBelltoll7 жыл бұрын
There is a potentioner you adjust two screws . You need to measure resistance . You only turn the screw barely a hair to lower resistance so beam gets more laser ligh through the lense. You need to have it unplugged and use a multimeter. Ive done this on xbox 360's when they dont read disc. You get dirty disc error. Something similar on bluray would mean no read . Watch a xbox 360 dirty disc error fix. Laser diodes are the same principal.

I would like to add something to this: I had a similar problem, or so i thought, where my LG BD551-k would accept a disc, try to spin it, but would almost immideately make a scratching/spinning sound, as if it dropped the disc back into its tray or something, then stop spinning, and try again. I opened it up, and found that the part that holds the disc in place from the top had come loose, and would spin assymetrically, causing the disc to hit the tray and the surrounding plastic, thus making the sound i heard. I found out that the top part that holds the disc in place (Can be partially seen at 2:54 in the middle of the screen, where there are 3 oddly-shaped holes) had popped out of its 'slot'. I was able to put it back in by centering it and turning it while pushing it gently, but it would always pop out again once i would try to run a DVD. So my solution was to jam a folded piece of paper in-between the top cover, and the plastic cover (The one at 2:54 with 4 holes in it) on top of the aforementioned part. This made it so the part that, before, would pop out of its slot, didnt have enough room to pop out anymore. My unit is now running again. I dont know if my solution is a good or a lasting one, but it works for the moment at least
