Every technique, even the most reliable one, tends to break down. However, if the player suddenly stops functioning or some technical problems arise, before buying a new player, you should repair the DVD. If it's a top-of-the-line device with a wide range of features, it may be worth refurbishing.
Among the problems of modern players, there is often a deterioration in disc playback, as well as failures to stop playback due to a breakdown of 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 by simply replacing the failed parts. This procedure is quite simple for any qualified specialist, however, it should be noted that repairing a DVD with a broken reader involves replacing spare parts only with original ones or their complete analogues. Otherwise, the player will soon fail again.
One morea common problem is a broken spindle drive (this is the motor that directly spins the DVD in the drive). You can recognize such a breakdown in the same way as a failure of a laser reader: by the fairly frequent occurrence of so-called “freeze frames”. To play video without interruptions, you need a uniform rotation of the disk. This important condition can be disturbed by interturn short circuits in the motor winding.
When contacting 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 reading head, which must be observed in order to focus the laser on the disk. If you simply replace the motor and don't set the correct spacing between these parts, you will most likely need to repair the DVD again soon.
Quite often the processor chips that decode video and sound fail. Breakdowns of driver microcircuits are also not uncommon. This device monitors the speed of the drive motor and also controls the read head. The alleged cause of the failure may be overheating due to lack of ventilation in the case. If your device does not spin the disc, and the control menu does not work, you need to immediately repair the DVD. You can fix it by replacingbroken chips or firmware.
Whatever the breakdown, you should contact only professionals with 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. Pay attention to what spare parts are used during the repair. Only originals are recommended.
