Skipping and Freezing DVD Player Fixed - Long edit - No or Bad disc Error

Thank you for this video! You show alot and saved my 1year old DVD player from the trash. 😃

Great, you just made my day! You get an "A" for the day, and get to go to the head of the Class!

Very good video my friend and helpful. I will do the same procedure with mine cause it freezes in the middle of a movie or at the end of it. Thank u for sharing.

This was perfect… just saved myself some money. Thank you.

I am so glad I found you! I followed your instruction s to the letter and cleaned my dvd player and it works like new! Thank you!! You have a new sub. I hope you make many more video's.

Brilliant idea hope it works and may help to fix my players and recorders, thanks. 🎬🎧🎼

That’s nice those pots are actually labeled.

Well, now you did it, I'm gonna have to watch "Sharknado"

Great video very informative.

Been trying this with a highly intermittent and accessed the pot with a long screwdriver. Tried counterclockwise first. Each time the reponse did change. Not having the proper tool cause me to possibly damage the pot, now it wont read at all. I reccomend EXTREME caution using this procedure. It works but physical damage occurs very easily. I tried searching for a correct tool online but was unsuccessful. Any recomendations are welcomed.. or if i have to replace it entirely .. what cross reference is available ? Many different brands use the same laser mechanism so a donor unit would save a really nice machine, sacrificing a cheap one like the one in this video.

wow tnx sir...

it's very annoying,my dvd player skipping and play random parts of the disc.I don't know if it's the disc fault or the dvd player.I clean the disc and it didn't skip on that part but another part.It is odd that turning that potentiometer can damage the laser,the laser should have had an current limiters such as ICs or mosfet.Anyway,it's great if brighter laser can solve it.

Your video really help me.

A very good video. What type of lubricant is best for the laser transport shafts is best to use. Is it a grease or a thin oil.

Hello. I have a koss dvd player, model #ks4122 that will not play or spin a dvd movie. I put a new laser in it and it still won't load a dvd, i have changed the spindle and sled motor, no change, i used a working sylvania dvd as a reference and readjusted the spindle height and the laser table height, this got the player to play approx. 3 cd's, but no dvd. The laser is similar to yours, with the 2 pots on the rear of the laser, below the ribbon cable, do you think the pots need adjustment, even with a new laser. I also used a bubble level and got the laser table level. Do you think it is worth it to try to adjust the pots, and which one is for the dvd, they are not marked, otherwise maybe i have a electronic problem with the mother board. Any help would be appreciated, if it is a electronic problem i can not find a service manual, any ideas, i would like to get it going again. Thanks

Hey electronicle, found your channel recently and love your content. I notice you post a more on “Rumble”, I guess to each their own but I didn’t really want to make an account their haha. Anyways, hope you post more here on YouTube, and also was wondering how someone could go about sending stuff in for you to fix? I would pay of course if that’s an issue, or if you’re not interested that totally fine as well.
