Why does it take longer and longer for my DVD player to load a disc?

Question

I place the disc in the tray and it either immediately says "no disc" or it goes on and on loading. Eventually it will finally load. Is there soimething I can clean inside the player to make it read the disc.? It keeps getting slower . I have cleaned the discs.

Answer 1

You can find a laser cleaner (kind of like old VCR head cleaners.) It is a DVD like disc with little brushes on it. Or the player may be getting old. Goodluck.

Answer 2

The optical pickup lens may be dirty. Try a cleaning disc. If this does not help, the optic pickup is probably at the end of it's life. Most DVD players last 1-2 years with frequent use.

Answer 3

First get a lenses cleaner and do a clean up and if that is not working then :

Change your DVD drive it worked a lot for you, now you need to change it because your DVD drive lense become weak and cant read each DVD's

Answer 4

the laser is dirty, but don't get one of those cleaners with the little brush. I have replaced lasers in players that have used them. You need to carefully take it apart, dip a cotton swab in alcohol, or lens cleaner (even better) and gently clean the lens.

Answer 5

there are cleaner discs that have small brushes on them. It sounds like you're getting some dust on the laser

Answer 6

In this case cleaning is not a solution. Your lens becomes weaker and soon it will be shutdown. You better consult a technician before it becomes worst.

Answer 7

maybe it just nedds to be cleaned out sometimes if you open it up and just whipe lightly around the lens it tends to work a little better
