Aaargh! No! Anything but that!
My lovely DVD player/monitor has gone on the fritz!!!
Half way through a film it just froze and I thought perhaps it was a fault on the disc, as it has been played rather a lot, so I gave it a different one. Screen said 'loading' and then 'no disc' ! I tried switching it off, letting it cool down, and tried again - still says 'loading' and then 'no disc'. Thinking maybe I was cracking up and had put the disc in backward - took it out, turned it round, and tried again - nothing. Have tried various other DVDs - received the same messages. Checked the manual but there is nothing appropriate.
How on earth will I cope without my daily dose of film ??!!

Thank you all for the advice.

Right - unplugged and replugged mains leads - still the same messages.Tried a Laser lens cleaning disc - still same messages.
Maybe it is the loading mechanism that has worn out - it sounds as though it is struggling when I put a disc in. I hope it can be fixed as it was expensive and is only three years old. The sound/picture quality are superb and it is a multi-region player so I can play DVDs from all over the world.
Sigh - nothing last forever !
Psst -Anyone want to buy over a thousand DVDs - only one careful owner ?
