Why does my portable DVD player no longer play my DVDs? My portable Dvd player quit playing dvds and cds. Sometimes when we put a disk in it shows it's loading but never quits spinning. At other times it says "no disk". Sometimes it plays cds but when we change the disk to any other dvd or cd it will no longer play. If it's playing and we pause it, it starts back up with no problems. Can anyone help or am I better off buying a new one? This one is only a couple of months old but we threw away the box and don't have the reciept. Thanks for anything you can help me with. Yeah, we've cleaned it over and over hoping that that was the problem but no luck. Would it be cheaper just to get a new one?

Can you help me choose a good portable DVD player? I am looking to buy a portable DVD player for a long car ride. I am looking at the portable players that have two screens. I saw one at Sam's Club.

I have owned an Audiovox portable DVD player in the past, and it broke a few months later. Are there any other good brands out there? Do anyone of you have experience with the two screen type? Thank you!
