Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Lots of accesories, but one key flaw:
SOLUTION INCLUDED: <br />It doesnt play dvds.. period. It lasted a week, then it stoped playing DVDs. Hence, I went to work. To fix the problem of non playing DVDs, I started with a heavy sheet of paper. I cut a 1in by 1in square out. Next, I placed a CD's ring in the center of the tiny slip of paper, then I used a pen to trace the edges over and over until the center popped out. The end product is essentially a circle within a 1in by 1in square. Next, I put the square on the spinning ring that holds the DVD in place. It is a snug fit. Push it down all the way. Next comes the DVD. Place it in the DVD player, and press firmly. HERE'S THE KEY PART: MAKE SURE THE CLIPS ON THE SPINING DISK ARE FULLY PUSHED OUT AND GRIPPING THE DVD. This assures that the dvd is as far away from the laser as possible, level, and secure! Voila, it works! I have tried burned DVDs as well as normal DVDs, they work well with this arrangment, althought they sometimes take time to load. Enjoy!
