Portable DVD player troubles................Disc ERR

celticfc

I have 8.4"TFT LCD Portable DVD Player, but when I put a disc in it comes up "disc err". It won't even play originals. It's only just started doing this, it's been working fine before now.

I got it from ebay in November, I've tried contacting the seller but he won't reply. It came with a 180 day warranty, which has ended. So I'm assuming that's going to be a no go there, but I contacted him to see if he had any advice.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this problem if it is fixable.

Have you tried cleaning the 'lens' of the machine? This helped us, with a brand new one. Soft brush.......

Can I ask how you clean a DVD player. I have always cleaned the discs before use, but I have used a few discs borrowed from the library and I think they have messed my machine up. Discs keep sticking. I have just bought 3 new DVD from Amazon and before I send them back as faulty, thought I might try tp clean the machine first.

I had the same problem a while back with probably the same unit. I used a cotton bud with nothing on it and it works fine ever since.
