    I have had this dvd player for approx 15 months and it has been unlocked for all that time.
    All of a sudden whilst i was watching the AVI file movies it stopped playing them.
    None of the DVD's that have worked on it are working anymore.

    it loads and the menu shows. Then i select the movie and the Index goes to a 100. Then the screen goes black and display shows 00:00 as though the movie is starting but it is stuck there. I have tried countless DVD's that worked previously.

    What has happened? Please help.

    Sounds like your dvd player has gone kaput and needs to be replaced,it's not worth repairing since they are so cheap now a days.
    I think,therefore i am a hamster.

  3. This link might give you some ideas. Not exactly the same problem you face, but some of the no-cost/low-cost fixes might work.

    How about some more specific details.

    Are they AVI's burnt to a disc as a DATA disc ?

    AVI's converted and burned as a DVD disc ?

    So not even store bought dvd's will work ?
    Or just the ones you made that may or may not be DATA AVI disc's ?

    AVI's burnt to a disc as DATA do not work
    AVI's converted as a DVD do not work

    JUST the ones i made do not work whether they are burnt as a DATA or not. AVI's or DVD's that I made do not work

    So you're saying store bought pressed dvd's play ?

    I had a player do that a couple of years ago.

    I can't remember which way it was, it wold not play burnt media but would pressed media, or vice versa.

    I took it apart and carefully cleaned the laser lens and then it worked perfectly again.

    If nothing else has changed, no firmware updates, it's either a dirty lens or the laser is dying.
    Either way, it won't hurt to try.

    A few days ago one of my Bluray players stopped reading DVD's, both burnt and pressed, just said "no disc"
    but it would play Bluray's, pressed and burnt.
    Cleaned the lens on that one also, started working perfectly again.
