Hey guys,
I have the same problem-what i have noticed is that the motor does not turn, when the cover is openned, and the CD is moved, then it begins to spin-its like giving it a kick start. It is either that something is stuck/sticky or the motor is going...Hope this helps-
Haven't found the solution yet but still testing options
Why Does My DVD Player Say 'No Disc'?
Categories: Video Playback / Recording Devices
I have a Sony DVD player model DVP-S560D. When I insert the dvd into the player I get a message on the player telling me to insert the disk. Why isn't the player recognizing the disk already in the player? Does something need to be cleaned?

the first initial kick is a normal function that happends in the begining of the process to see if the disc is readable , compatible and if there is even a disc there
I have had many of problems with the "wire strip" that goes from the "signal processing board" to the "laser mechanism" , check this wire by pushing down on it a little to see if the laser reads and the motor starts spinning the disc or lift up on the clip that holds the wire strip in its socket , pull the wire strip out and check it with the meter to see if any of the wires inside have a broken or bad connection.
let me know if that helpped or if you need any other info that may help detect the problem

I have the "no disc" error on my screen ever since there was a power failure that happened while watching a movie. The power didn't go out completely, just all the lights in the house got dimmer and the dvd got stuck and the image on the screen got scrambled. Is there any connection? How can I fix this? It's a Philips DVP3140/37. I already tried the cleaning, didn't change anything.

Hi
I'm receiving a no disc error as well but only on certain DVD's. The odd thing is that out of a two disc set one disc plays fine and the other produces the no disc error no matter how many times I reload it.

the power or voltage drop can and will destroy components when the other electronic components cannot control the power in thier circuits correctly. It sounds like you need to have it tested or it may just be cheeper to buy a new one , because of parts and labor.(unless you have a warranty) but yes the power drop is most likely the culprit of the failure.

what kind of a dvd player do you have? name? model?
it most likely is not able to play certain formats,blueray or regions.
check your manual for those areas that the player can play and the disc's formats , regions that your inserting into the player are. also clean the laser eye periodically as it will start to become blind over time(recomended every 8 hrs. of play ),( I say at least once a week)

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have an Insignia tv with a built in DVD player. It can't be a format issue because it plays disc 2 of a set but doesn't recognize disc 1. I used a cd/dvd cleaner with brushes on it with no positive results.

is disc two part two of a movie or is disc two the extras cd ? it also may be that the disc is missing info
what is your tv/dvd model number ? and what disc set are you trying to play in it ?
example:
insignia 32" supported formats : DVD, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW playback. Also supports JPEG image format for viewing photos on the big screen.

Disc 1 of Lord of the rings/Fellowship of the rings doesn't read but disc 2 does. Crash special features disc plays but the movie on disc 1 does not. Insignia 22" but I don't have any supported format info as it was my daughter's and she gave it to me without the user guide, etc.

if cleaning the laser lens does not fix the problem then the lens may be scratched or the focus can no longer lift and lower the lens properly , which then would mean replacement of the laser mech. . otherwise testing of circuits would need to be done and possible board replacement.

you have what sounds like a bad solder joint on the board and maybe a dirty laser lens or the laser is failing .
you will need to check solder connections on that board, solder it and carefully clean the laser lens by hand(q-tip and lens cleanning solution)
hope that helps, let me know how it go

ibblack,
Have you tried a "laser lens cleanning disc" ? if you can't get it to read that cleanning disc it will need a manual cleanning ( taken apart ), try that cleanning disc and let me know what happends
