Re: Can DVD Player be Fixed?

Hi, I have a Samsung DVD player that was working perfectly well until
all of a sudden after loading a movie, it read "No Disc" or something
like that, indicating it "couldn't see the disc".

Is there any way of fixing this problem? (I suspect that the laser is
mis-aligned, but don't know what to do about it -- short of hitting the
box on its side with a hammer -- lightly, of course.)

Any other suggestions?

Also, disc players are cheap now, you can get an upconverting 5 disc
progressive scan Sony for $150 os less. Great player too!
