Hi all, I have a Samsung dvd model DVD 709/XSA
DVD will play although it seems to have a jump or pause in the picture/sound every few seconds This coincides with the servo motor disc speed slowing down, i can hear the motor revs change as if it gets to correct speed then slows down and repeats this over/over
Anyone with any info would be appreciated
Are these motors interchangable between different DVD players ( not same make )
thank you
Does this occur on *all* DVDs' ? It might be something simple like dirty/scratched DVDs' or a very dirty lens on the laser.
Yes seems to be all , have tried 6 different dvd`s
1st dvd was a brand new oneHave cleaned lens, and tried more dvds but still does the same Seems as though the motor or speed is ramping up and down and not holding if you like at the top speed
I would try to clean the laser first, and check for binding of the sled motor/gears. A lump of dust or dry grease on one of the gears that moves the laser across the disc could have that effect.
Samsungs have a bad reputation for laser pickups going bad.
