hey fellas,
i'hve a PHILIPS DVD player which i bought in OCT 2007 so no warranty

now all of a sudden a problem has arisen in my dvd player that whenever i put a dvd in it says-NO DISK

what could be the possible issue?
a dvd lense cleaner would do it?

thnks:)
 
A DVD lens cleaner will do a temporary job. The player will still say "No Disc" sometimes.
It will be better if you can open up(or ticke it to your local electronic repair shop) the player and clean the lens will some dry cotton swabs.

I had the same problem with my Samsung DVD player. I used a Writex lens cleaner but still it said "No Disc" a lot of times. So I called the Samsung Service Centre and they sent a technician who opened up the player and rubbed the lens with some cotton swabs. Most DVD s can be played now.
If I had known that the technician would clean the lens only, I would never have had called him. I had to pay him Rs.300 for this(Since my player is around 3 years old).

how much does the lens cost?

and yes i think i would take it to a local electrician instead of service center......
 
^ local mechanic or electrician? :P

try with lens cleaner first. that works 90% of the time. if it does not work open it yourself and use a earbud dipped in pure alcohol to clean the lens. opening a dvd player or any electronic item is no big deal if you know your way with a comp's innards.

Rs.700-800. If you decide to give to change, than be sure to do some marking so you may be come to know whether they really Replaced it or just do cleaning :)

Are you sure that motor spinning the disk perfectly? some time may be issue with motor too.
 
okay
i would first try to clean the lens...if that doesn't work then

i would open the player and try cleaning it ..

and yeah the last option is to buy a new one:D

no idea whatsoever...can make it out only after opening it:S
 
I had the same problem with my Philips dvd player, I opened it up and cleaned the lens with a anti static cloth, you get one easily with quality goggles or glasses. since then it is absolutely fine.
