Re: DVD PLAYER FREEZES UP

I have DVD player that will freeze up, while playing. The image stays on but with no further progress. At times when this happens,the player will not respond from remote control. I pull out power plug, restart movie and often times it will freeze in almost the same spot on the movie. The DVD is new, and it happens with others in much the same way. The player is a Cyber Home, and hasn't had much play time hours. Any Suggestions?




Could be a capacitor in the power supply, dirty optical pickup, dried up grease, feel free to open it up and fiddle with it, Cyber Home is a bargain bin cheapie so you won't find a tech willing to work on it and it would cost more than buying a new one. If it's less than a year old it might be under warranty.
