I can see my movie playing but I cannot hear anything. What's wrong? I know the problem isn't with my TV's audio because I can hear it when I'm watching cable.

Samsung DVD Player: DVD player reads some discs but stop reading and playing others

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 03:44:07 -0700

My Samsung DVD player makes loud noises while playing certain discs bit runs smoothly with others. It also freezes in the middle of playing certain discs but plays others all the way through with no problem. It has recently completely stopped reading and playing certain discs that were playing fine before. What could be causing this issue? Is it time to replace it? It was given to me by my sister. I don't think she's had it longer than a couple years.

Sony DAV-DZ690K

DVD player is not reading DVDs or CDs

I own this four years old Sony Home Theatre system. I noticed recently, it is not reading either DVDs or CDs. When I insert a DVD, it takes a while to read, but shows 'No disc'. The tray simply opens on its own.

I appreciate your help to solve this problem.

Thank you so much in advance.

Samsung BD-JM57C: Tray will not open - Home screen comes on and off intermittently?

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 14:14:29 -0700

This device is a ‘BD-JM57’ -[- We don’t see any ‘C’ in the model no. Not sure of any difference with that, but it surely does look identical.

Plug it in and we hear the dvd player try to open but it will not. The home screen (start up screen) pops up but immediately goes off. It comes on and off intermittently each time we hear the dvd drive attempt to open . Plugging in turns on player - no need to press on button anymore. . Cannot turn it off either. We can manually open drive and shut it. Here is what I’ve tried so far:

Disassembled & examined the player. Belt appears to be ok. Disk spins - seems motor is ok. It appears that the tracking mechanism is moving forward a little but stops and goes back and it’s quiet again (for a few seconds) and then it goes forward again to repeat the process over and over. Each time home start up screen pops up for a second and goes black to start the process again. I’ve unplugged both cables to dvd carriage just to see if player will work without dvd hooked up. DUH. Tried this with both cables off & tried one and then the other with no luck (as if that would actually work - Yet stranger things have happened in my decades of IT work).

The player is not that old (less than 2 years) and we rarely use it for cd/dvd use. 98% of the time we just use the apps. Hate to have it end up in a landfill if there’s a way to save it. I’ve had very good luck over the years fixing stuff, but I have failed with this one.

Really need this for local weather and the apps. Is there any way to use without the carriage somehow? Or any other ideas will surely be appreciated. Hate to have it end up in a landfill if there’s a way to save it. I’ve had very good luck over the years fixing stuff but I have failed with this one.

Another idea is a replacement for the dvd part? It’s been so long since I’ve done repairs like this I don’t have a source for parts and don’t have parts list. Would it be feasible to call Samsung for the part?

Thank you in advance for any help!

UPDATE: Found the part:

Sat, 13 Aug 2016 20:02:05 -0700

The door came off along with a very small spring which is responsible for keeping the door closed when the disc tray is not being opened. I am not sure where the spring belongs! Can anyone help me?
