Using rubbing alcohol won't do too much damage to the CD lens will It?

Came home, learned the daughter had put a dvd in the player that had banana smear on it. Player read, "check disc" for our dvd's. Having no idea how or what to think of the whole matter, I got really upset, thinking the dvd player was toast. Wife said, there should be hope. Looked up "how to open and clean a dvd player", found this movie. Followed it to the T and the DVD player works again!!! Thanks for the VID!

Grateful greetings from London, UK, in 2024. This video just saved the day. I needed to access a DVD urgently, so dig out my decade-old LG blu-ray player. Which merrily still played BD but gave me a "no disc" error. A quick dab of "Surgical Spirit" (British 90% rubbing alcohol) and 5 minutes later, everything works! Thanks for sharing the cleaning tip!

@Christian_Girl120 3 года назад

This is great! I wanted to make sure I knew how to do it properly before I even try. I didn't want to mess it up! LOL! Thank you for the information. It's very helpful! You know, if you don't want to lose the screws, get a small box, like a box where jewelry might have been. That way they won't roll off the table.

This is an excellent video! So clear in detail on how to open it up and clean the laser eye. So many videos out there are so bad with the camera shaking and they don't even show you how to open the unit up or what they're doing. I just bought a DVD/VHS player and the DVD just says loading but will never load, so I'm going to try this tomorrow.

@CRUNCHYBABY Год назад

Thank you! It worked for my dual DVD/VHS player. I didn’t have a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, but did have some first aid kit 70% wipes which worked. I also used q-tips, non-scented baby wipes, and my lungs to clear dust I found inside. I also took the time to clean the little fan on back which was very dusty.

@ghood7445 Год назад

Thank you for making this video, early indications are that it's worked. FWIW my machine had a circuit board overlapping the part covering the laser eye and I could only partially raise the latter for fear of damaging the circuit board. Fortunately, I still managed to get the Q Tip to clean the eye, but I didn't detect any movement of it like in your video. Again, much appreciated!

@michaelfeeney8437 2 года назад

Thanks for posting. Always enjoy these ‘How to’ videos. My Panasonic blu ray 530 played up before Christmas. But I managed to rectify the problem. I notice the discs have to be in perfect condition for it to play and any slight imperfections, then it won’t read them. This is compared to a 15 year old Panasonic Combi, which I have in another room which will play anything you throw at it. Frustratingly it plays the discs the blu ray won’t. I then came across a Panasonic store in another town, and had a chat with them about all this, and it seems that it isn’t always the lasers at fault. Apparently, the disc tray can slightly ‘warp’, so the disc won’t sit plum in its seat, so is unable to be read. On mine, I noticed the tray had a lot of play in it. And is a flimsy contraption for what was an expensive machine. And the life expectancy of these newer machines, I’m told is only a few years !! But I would always attempt a repair rather than just bin it.

no, not sure about vcr side. but i think a q tip wipe on side of the silver wheels is ciorrect

@jimmymurphy7789 2 года назад

Rubbing Alcohol is just fine & will NOT hurt the coated Laser Eye. Just don't saturate & soak it with too much - just enough to thoroughly wet the Q-Tip, then a light rubbing (don't "Grind" it in) & air dry will do the Trick.

@PickRoll 2 года назад

Yes, thanks

@virathiyam5401 2 года назад

Well done bro.. liked & supported.. very informative.. btw do you think plain water is fine for cleaning the dvd laser lens if I don't have rubbing alcohol?

@PickRoll 2 года назад

Alcohol is best because it dries very fast, water takes a long time and can cause corrosion. if using water must be very very little

I am disabled. I can't put the DVD player on a table. I have a spinal disc that is out of alignment so I am not able to stand up. I loved your video on cleaning the eye . Taking the eye cover off is very difficult. Can I clean the eye leaving the disc cover on?

Brands are different, but most you need to remove to access.

@markinvisiblyunnoticed9458 3 года назад

Hello, I want to ask something. When I was a child, I have been watching pirated dvds (I live in Indonesia, where pirated dvds are easier to find than original one). When I put a pirated dvd in my Samsung player, it works. Yesterday, I bought three original dvds but when I put it on the player, it loads so long until it displays the message “This disc cannot be read”. I tried the other dvds I bought and it is still the same. I put it in my LG dvd player and laptop and it worked! But not the Samsung. I was so sad because the Samsung player I own supports Surround system but the LG player does not. I got the correct region (3) and the correct format too. There’s no dust or anything but why is it not working? Please help me answer this question.

@michaelfeeney8437 2 года назад

Yeah, some are ‘tamperproofed’. Panasonic, for example are in a sealed plastic case. But you may be able to gain access by prising open the spindle and the metal washer with a mini screw driver. You may then be able to get a Q Tip in at an angle to clean it.

@PickRoll 3 года назад

Its worth a shot first. This is an option if that doesnt work, or if someone doesnt have a disc handy.

@shay4101 Год назад

Is it really important to use a manual screwdriver and not a power drill to disassemble? My DVD side isn't working and I may have messed up the first time trying to fix it about a year ago. Thank goodness my VCR still works. I've just been trying to get the DVD side cleaned but I don't know how to safely get it open. I'm not sure how long I should wait before disassembling this time after unplugging it. I wish there was a website to tell you all about this kind of stuff, but I guess they don't want you to fix it yourself lol
