I have seen a number of DVD players on warranty that might work for a half hour to several hours and then refuse to play or freeze the image. Replacing the DVD Mecha always fixed the problem so I assumed that it was a laser problem.

I do not have any experience on DVD recorders at all .Here is what happens can record 2-3 movies then I start getting disk error,disk error detected, and fan failure. I cleaned the fan with some canned air started to work,but still disk error.I called RCA CSR said to use lens cleaner it sat around about a month cleaned lens,it worked fine for 3 movies recording the 4th disk error. Do I have something heating up or do the CPU's in these things need a hard reset often. Any of you that work on these all help would be appreciated. > Thanks > Perry Thorpe > Thorpe's Electronics > Beattyville,KY 41311 > pkthorpe@xxxxxxxxx > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > This Email List is accessible to the general public through search engines.
