Any technique, even the most reliable, tend to break. However, if the player unexpectedly ceases to function or has any technical problems, before buying a new player, you should repair the DVD. If this is a top-end device with a wide range of functions, it may be subject to restoration.
Among the problems of modern players, there is often a deterioration in disc playback, as well as failures in stopping playback due to damage to the laser reader and diode. The warranty period of this element is 3 years, after which the manufacturer cannot promise its normal functioning.
Repair of DVD players with such a breakdown is carried out with the help of a simple replacement of failed parts. This procedure is quite simple for any qualified specialist, however, it should be noted that repairing a DVD with a reader breakdown involves replacing spare parts only with original ones or their full analogs. Otherwise, the player will soon fail again.
Another common problem is a spindle drive failure (this is the engine that directly spins the DVD in the drive). Such a breakdown can be recognized in the same way as a laser reader failure: by the rather frequent occurrence of so-called “freeze frames”. To play the video without interruption, you need uniform rotation of the disc. This important condition can interrupt the interturn circuit in the motor winding.
Having addressed the repair of DVD players with a similar problem, first of all, ask if the specialist will adjust the height of the platform on which the disc is placed. If the answer is no and the master is going to simply replace the engine without adjusting anything, it is better to contact another service center. Any qualified specialist knows that there is a certain distance between the platform and the read head, which must be observed to focus the laser on the disk. If you just replace the engine and do not set the correct distance between these parts, you will most likely need to repair the DVD again soon.
Quite often, processor chips that decode video and sound fail. There are also frequent breakdowns of driver chips. This device monitors the speed of the drive motor and also controls the read head. The alleged cause of the breakdown may be overheating due to lack of ventilation in the enclosure. If your device does not spin up the drive, and the control menu does not work, you need to immediately repair the DVD. You can fix it by replacing broken microcircuits or firmware.
Whatever the breakdown, you should contact only professionals with the proper education and sufficient experience. When contacting a service center, always check for the appropriate status, as well as the certificates of the masters working there. You should pay attention to what spare parts are used during repairs. Only originals are recommended.
