| | Posted: | | | | I just went to pop in the next DVD for my Sandra Bullock marathon and I seem to be having a problem with the player!  When I turn on the power I don't see any picture. I just still see the blue Video screen. after turning it off and on a few times I popped a disc in anyway. I get sound but no picture! I checked all the connections. Everything is fine there... no loose wires or anything like that. I briefly pulled the plug (maybe 10 to 15 seconds).... plugged it back in... still the same. I don't get it... just moments before I watched a movie on there with no trouble... looked great. And this was a movie I burned from an old recording. I so can't afford another DVD player right now!  Anyone have any ideas? | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Did you try playing the last DVD you watched to see if it still works? What make/model is your DVD player? There should be method to reset it. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | I got it working... back in business!
Was very strange. One minute played beautifully. Next movie I tried to pop in (minutes later) nothing.
And what did I have to do? use a different video wire. Very strange... I never seen a wire go up in such a short period of time! | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I saw something similar but it turned out to be not a bad wire but connection starting to go in the DVD player do to heat and just having things plugged/unplugged. If it is sometimes audio and sometimes video I would also suspect the solder joints might be starting to go on the connectors. |

| | Posted: | | | | I will keep an eye on it... but everything seems to be working perfectly since I changed the wire.  | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Every piece of equipment has a limited lifespan.The way a few people here talk about their love for DVDs, I have to assume they buy players every few years or their players have been reincarnated a few times  Glad that it's working well again, though  | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Oh I been through my fair share of players over the years. I probably had 5 or 6 since I got my first one back in 1997. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Pete I'm glad your player is back in business.. Mine died a few months back.. so I went out and bought another $39.00 player ( for the family room) . and it is often better picture than my $400 HD player in some ways ...   Keep in mind your player may be giving you notice today that it will walk out on you eventually .... ( btw I'm still also waiting for the day to see a post here on the forums that your ''Tube TV'' ( 26inch?) has died and you are forced to buy an HD 42 inch LCD/plasma ......) .... Ooohh Let your movies play on ........ | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Maybe your DVD Player didn't like your choice of movie? Just sayin'. Yeah, same thing happens to both my players when the lady busts out some Julia Roberts movie or something of that rom-com ilk. I have trained them well, mmuuhhhhhaaaaahahhhhaaahhhaaaa! |
