Our DVD player is now 7 months old and it too has the problem where the screen is black. It still plays through the line out to a TV but nothing is on the screen. We don't know how this happened as it is used at gently at home. I've tried playing with the screen (opening and closing and a bit of swiveling) and it does come back but only for a short time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

I have tried all setting on my Tablet DVD Player and cannot get the screen to go to color. I had bought this item in OCT for a christmas present for my son, decided to do Operations check on it and found that the display was not working properly. What can i do to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.

Did they just forget these features when they made Blue ray players? I doubt it, they just left room for improvement so we would have a reason to buy newer models. The proof in this is to ask yourself how many DVD players you have boughtt over the years, and how many of them were bought because the old one stopped working, versus you just wanted some of the cool upgraded features they offered?

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

I've had mine for almost three years, but I didn't start using it often until recently. I had problems playing some Disney Blu-Ray disks I purchased for my son... The picture and sound would cut out intermittently when watching the movies, and it seemed to get worse each time we watched them. I figured my problem had something to do with anti-piracy nonsense, since I refused to update the firmware... A friend ended up an expensive paperweight when he did the firmware update. I solved my problem (at least so far) by taking my home theater receiver out of the loop and connecting the blu-ray player directly to the TV via HDMI. So far, so good.

You're lucky yours plays discs at all, or can update its firmware. My player stopped connecting (wi-fi or ethernet) or playing discs within 6 months. I spent hours on the phone with many different LG agents, and the conclusion was that they couldn't help me, and to write a customer complaint. I wrote 2 complaints via the website, and both were unanswered.

If the unit you got is good and it was installed correctly, then try burning dvds using the mp4 format and cds as regular audio or data cds. This works for me. If these do not work have the unit checked out

I bought a refurbished Samsung Sound bar and have nothing but problems. I have even had the cable company out-and they cannot figure out why it does not work. Will play-but both DVD and cable it goes to black screen and says to check the signal. I am off to Sears to buy a new one.

I have the same problem. Played about 10 or so DVD's so far and it quit working...first it would play 1min23sec just fine and then freeze, now I get the same message as you "NO DISC". I called Coby Customer Service and spent 53 minutes on hold, when I finally talked to someone they told me to try a DVD cleaning disc and when I asked if that didn't work they said they couldn't do anything for me.....VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE...and obviously A LOT of people are calling in!!!! I am just about to toss this thing in the garbage and never purchase anything from Coby again.

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

Mine still solid and running as perfect as when I open the box. We have despised to give away the other DVD player and use this one only and we are very happy with the quality. Good luck to you

Make sure you have downloaded Windows media player or VLC media player or some other "player". I had the same problem; the DVDs weren't playing because I didn't have the proper software to play them. Hope that helps.

Hi:I registered my DVD player on August 11th. As I remember I had a problem also. I was able to register it under DVP-FX970. Try adding a 0. Good luck. Judy
