Dvd laser error

[bubbadu]

So my dad, 800 miles away, moved his dad player with a dvd in the thing and it now struck on the loading screen. He was just trying to hook up his old vcr for my price is right show on friday. I have done this before with other things (by accident) and never had a problem. Is this possible to be fixed? Thanks

What brand/model DVD player bubbadu?

 

[bubbadu]

I want to say a Samsung Zim (not for sure), all I know is that hes not happy And I know whatever retail store wont take back a 2-3 month old item.

Chunk it and buy a Philips 642 < $50.

Umm.... Has he tried unplugging it for 5 minutes? If anything it sounds like maybe the DVD is dislodged and stuck? When you try and eject the tray, does the DVD come out?

2-3 months? If littleprince's suggestion doesn't work, find out what brand it is and it might still be under warranty bubbadu, just a thought

We still don't know exactly what bubbadu fathers needs are Pepsi90919, a cheapo Walmart model might not fit the bill IMO Pepsi90919

bubbadu, try and tell us the model and how it's hooked up to his HT system if it is at all!
