Is My Player Packing In...? |
| Comfy posted 2005 Jan 17 14:37 |
| I've had a Toshiba SD-420E for a few years now, but during the last few weeks it has statred skipping on ALL discs after about 30 minutes.
I have to turn it off and wait an hour to be to turn it back on and play some more... but thats a pain. It does this on DVDrs, bought DVDs, SVCDs... everything. It does not seem to be overheating and hasn't got a fan inside it anyway, so that rules out a fan packing in. I have had the top off and cleaned the laser but it hasn;t helped. Anyone heard of these symptons before or is it just a case of old age? Cheers for any replies! Comfy |

| Sounds like old age to me.
Buy a new one. Its proberly cheaper than fixing it. |

| It may be overheating:
Unplug,open the top cover and blast everything with a can of compressed air($5USD). Drill 1/4" holes in the cover or move the player away from any other components. I did this to my Mintek when it was acting up and it's been fine since. I agree with rkm69,if this doesn't work buy a new one. |
