Sony Blu-Ray Player: Push Power Protect repair

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:44:02 -0700

I have a Sony bdv-e2100 home cinema set and it is giving a Push Power Protect mention on the screen.

I have tried to disconnect all the speakers and the powersupply. Than I waited a few hours and connected only the power and the error still remains.

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

Sony Blu-ray player: 110V vs 240V compatibility?

Thu, 05 May 2022 07:16:38 -0700

I need a Blu-ray player capable of reading A-zone discs in Europe. It seems there is no Blu-Ray zone unlock for most models, so I am considering purchasing a dedicated BR player on eBay. I realize there is a 110 vs 220 V difference, so I'm generally looking into AC adapter-equipped models, and it seems that Sony uses them the most. However, the US models come with 110V AC to 12V DC adapters instead of the customary 110-240V AC to 12 V DC. I understand that Sony PS consoles from the US can take 220V despite 110V markings. Can anyone verify if this also applies to any particular BR player or whether Sony AC adapters are in fact 110-240V?

Samsung Blu-Ray Player: Samsung Blu-Ray player not working

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:47:54 -0700

I have a Samsung Blu-Ray player model # BD-J5100/ZA. It will not play any of my Blu-Ray discs. It WILL play regular DVD's

I have tried the following:

A) With machine turned on, I unplugged it from the wall outlet and waited 5 minutes.

This did not help.

B) With machine turned on, I held down the "eject disc" button for 8 seconds. This

took me to multiple steps to reset the machine. I followed all the prompts and

I eventually got a message, The player has been reset to factory defaults.

This did not work either.

It seems that the player "THINKS" it is connected to the internet. It is not connected to the internet. Could this be possible ?

I DO HAVE wifi. Could the player somehow be affected by the wifi ?

Please help me. I'm out of ideas. Thank you.

Panasonic Blu-Ray Player: Won't play Blu Ray disks anymore, only DVDs

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 15:58:17 -0700

My Blu-ray player will no longer play Blu-ray discs. It tries to read it, and then just stops and this message appears on the screen: "Cannot Read, please check the disk". But, It plays DVDs just fine -- no problem at all. I have tried older Blu-rays from as far back as 2007. Today, I even opened a brand new Blu-ray disk -- never played before. And the same thing happened. Could there be something wrong with whatever technology is specific to playing Blu-ray disks?

BTW - my player is the DMP-BD85, not 89, but I didn't see that listed on this site.

Blu-Ray Player: OPPO BDP-93 powers on and freezes at "OPPO" on screen

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 12:48:58 -0700

OPPO BDP-93 Blu-ray player

Symptoms:

Connecting the power cord the red standby light comes on.
Pressing the power button (or remote) and the light changes to blue, unit screen displays “HELLO” then “OPPO , but no “Home Menu”.
TV displays the Blu-ray splash screen but that is all.
Blu-ray drive spins up, laser head moves, does a brief “search” and tray can be opened and closed with button or remote.
Fibre optic light is on.
After 15 or 20 seconds everything freezes even on/off button.
The on/off button must be pressed and held for about 40 to 50 seconds before it shut unit off. At least at first. Now it is longer than a minute before shutting off.

Further Steps:

Disconnected the “Region Free” hardware board, isolated analogue board and Blu-ray drive from power board and from the main circuit board.
Same result with lights and unit screen and TV screen.
Checked laser inside disc drive - works fine.

Unable to find any schematics or repair manuals or parts. The only OPPO Digital ( not to be confused with OPPO phones) service centre still in operation is in the USA and requires shipping the unit from here to USA and then back. No one locally repairs them.

They offered a few suggestions like unplugging from mains and holding power button for 5 seconds, releasing, reconnecting power, directly plugged into power point on wall, etc.

Samsung BD-H5100: Why am I having problems with .mov files

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 21:15:17 -0700

I have a Sambung blu-ray, model : BD-JM 51 (BD-J5100)

The blu-ray will play anything from blu-ray to dvd to dvd-r to cd-r. I received a dvd-r containing .avi, .mkv and .mov files.

They all play BUT the .mov files don't have any sound (anymore?). I am not 100% certain but I think I was able to watch some of them with sound before.

When I clicked on one of those .mov files and for the first few seconds, I can see a box which mentions that there are missing Codec. (or that the Codec can play it or somethign similar)

What do I need to do to fix the situation and hear the sound?

Thanks

PS : I do have sound when trying them in my little computer screen

Sony BDP-S3700: Is it normal for a Sony BDP-S1700 Blu-Ray player to make clicking nois

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 04:47:13 -0700

Yes, I know it might say Sony BDP-S3700 but the one that I have is Sony BDP-S1700 and it reads the DVD discs fine and without any problems but it just makes awful somewhat silent clicking noise while playing. I don't have any Blu-Rays and I use the player to watch burned DVD's. The DVDs are fine no scratches nor dusts and they're brand new. Also the player is pretty new. I bought it on September 30, 2022. But is it normal for this specific player or any other Sony Blu-ray player to make awful but silent clicking/buzzing noise.

Blu-Ray Player: lg blu-ray player bpm25(Region 1/A) work in europe?

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 16:24:17 -0700

Hello, i'm interesting to buy LG BPM25 Blu-ray player (Region 1/A) because i have a lot blu ray/dvd discs in region 1/A. I live in Europe. This blu ray player can work in Europe?

I found that US LG Blu ray Players use an Ac/Dc adapter called WA 12M12FU with input: 100-120v ~50/60hz 0.5A with output 12v 1A.

LG European blu ray players use an Ac/Dc adapter called WA 12M12FG with input: 100-240v ~50/60hz 0.5A with output 12V 1A.

If i use this European adapter to LG BPM25 (Region 1/A) can work?
