Samsung DVD Player: DVD player reads some discs but stop reading and playing others

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 03:44:07 -0700

My Samsung DVD player makes loud noises while playing certain discs bit runs smoothly with others. It also freezes in the middle of playing certain discs but plays others all the way through with no problem. It has recently completely stopped reading and playing certain discs that were playing fine before. What could be causing this issue? Is it time to replace it? It was given to me by my sister. I don't think she's had it longer than a couple years.

Samsung BD-JM57C: Tray will not open - Home screen comes on and off intermittently?

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 14:14:29 -0700

This device is a ‘BD-JM57’ -[- We don’t see any ‘C’ in the model no. Not sure of any difference with that, but it surely does look identical.

Plug it in and we hear the dvd player try to open but it will not. The home screen (start up screen) pops up but immediately goes off. It comes on and off intermittently each time we hear the dvd drive attempt to open . Plugging in turns on player - no need to press on button anymore. . Cannot turn it off either. We can manually open drive and shut it. Here is what I’ve tried so far:

Disassembled & examined the player. Belt appears to be ok. Disk spins - seems motor is ok. It appears that the tracking mechanism is moving forward a little but stops and goes back and it’s quiet again (for a few seconds) and then it goes forward again to repeat the process over and over. Each time home start up screen pops up for a second and goes black to start the process again. I’ve unplugged both cables to dvd carriage just to see if player will work without dvd hooked up. DUH. Tried this with both cables off & tried one and then the other with no luck (as if that would actually work - Yet stranger things have happened in my decades of IT work).

The player is not that old (less than 2 years) and we rarely use it for cd/dvd use. 98% of the time we just use the apps. Hate to have it end up in a landfill if there’s a way to save it. I’ve had very good luck over the years fixing stuff, but I have failed with this one.

Really need this for local weather and the apps. Is there any way to use without the carriage somehow? Or any other ideas will surely be appreciated. Hate to have it end up in a landfill if there’s a way to save it. I’ve had very good luck over the years fixing stuff but I have failed with this one.

Another idea is a replacement for the dvd part? It’s been so long since I’ve done repairs like this I don’t have a source for parts and don’t have parts list. Would it be feasible to call Samsung for the part?

Thank you in advance for any help!

UPDATE: Found the part:

But $83 +_tax + shipping ?! Whoa!

Samsung DVD Player: HT-F4500/2A DVD Player spins disk, outputs sound, but know video

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 02:15:36 -0700

This DVD player has always work fine until recently. Now if you put a DVD in (several have been tried) I can get sound output and the counter indicates that the DVD's are playing but I'm not getting any input to a monitor or TV via the HDMI connector (several HDMI cables have been tried). The monitor will indicate power is being passed to it when the DVD player is turned on and will occasionally a screen flash will appear briefly with no visible information.

The case has been opened and the HDMI connector appears to be solidly connected to the board.

Only issue I can recall that might have some bearing is that a Spectrum Tech was out to repair one of their Cisco cable boxes and additionally replaced a TiVo cable card (which he knew little about the TiVo box and didn't need replace), but to get to it he pulled both the TiVo and Samsung BlueRay/3D player out to swap the cable card, it's possible that he placed a strain on the HDMI cable at the time. I can't verify that the it was working before that, but do it hasn't worked since then

Any ideas on how to further trouble shoot this issue would be appreciated.

Sat, 12 Aug 2023 05:16:30 -0700

I have a jvc dvd/vcr that will not continue playing. I have read the manual and followed it's instruction repeatedly. It says to disconnect the unit and power it off. I have tried this repeatedly to no avail.

I chose this category because it is the closest to my problem, I don't have a samsung and it is not just a dvd player, but a jvc dvd/vcr player. I need to be educated on how to properly use this. Please help?
