Philips PD9000 37: Philips PD700/37 Dust under screen, but discs read

Fri, 15 May 2026 18:13:11 -0700

I have the white Philips DVD player, portable, model no. PD700/37. I haven't used in a long while, but it worked previously, no issues. The screen looks cloudy, but if there's dust, it's underneath the screen. The logo shows, the movie logo shows, then the cloudiness blocks picture, but the disc spins. Is this fixable? Is the opaqueness dust or something else? I love this little thing because it's light and I don't have to disturb anyone. Help appreciated. Cheers.

Philips DVD Player: DVP5990 Tray randomly ejects

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 23:48:55 -0700

Tray randomly (and frequently) opens and closes. Even when the player is turned off, so i have to unplug it when not in use. Please let me know if there is an easy fix, as I’m not looking to order parts.

If not, is it possible to disable to the tray completely, since the USB port works fine. It’d be nice if it went straight to reading the USB port instead of looking for a disc, and then I’d be able to leave it plugged in as well.

Thanks!
