My DVD player has started acting up. It keeps sticking on spots; occassionally it's so bad that it freezes up completely and I have to cut the power and turn it back on to even get the disc out.
Last night I took the cover off and I couldn't see anything obviously wrong, but I'm no expert. While I had the cover off I vacuumed all over the circuit boards and inside the disc holder but that didn't seem to help. Does anyone have any ideas?
i'm thinking vacuuming inside an electronics device is not a good idea; i would have used one of those nifty little air blower dealies.
have you tried cleaning the dvd player w/ one of those cd/dvd player cleaner kits? you can get a sufficient one at best buy for $10.

i didn't actually touch anything with the vacuum. a blower probablywould have been better, but i didn't have one. i haven't tried a
cleaner kit yet, but i will. i don't have a best buy though. i'll have to go to wally world, or as you call them, the evil empire.
