I have a 2.5 year old Panasonic DVD/VHS player combo. About a year ago, my DVDs started stopping and/or skipping. I bought a cleaner kit that is just a disk with little brushes. This worked for a time. It stopped working last week. I took my DVD player cover off and cleaned the optical lens with alcohol on a Qtip. Also cleaned the rubber disk that DVD turns on. Played first 10 minutes of the same DVD that had been stopping, and it played perfectly, then came to a stop again. Did I miss something with this cleaning? Is there a link that would show me step-by-step what I should do? Thanks!

It sounds like you did the cleaning correctly. Is it only the one disk that keeps stopping? It may be the disk that needs cleaning, not the player. If it is happening to all your dvd's then the laser might be off track in which case it's time for a new dvd player. This is the reason I would avoid getting combos, it one component stops working, you end up with a dvd player sitting on top of your combo, or you'd have to buy a new vcr.
