Well, this happened very strangely and very suddenly last night, but basically it turned from playing one DVD fine, and the next one I put in it would not play. The DVD model number is as above, and connections are not the problem, just SCART to a small tv. However, it seems to display what I like to call a GSoD (Green, in this case).
Basically, I put a DVD in, and then it will try to load it (this bit gives me the impression that it is trying to hook onto a bit of the DVD...like fishing), not be able to connect fully with it, display a green screen for about 1 second (a long second, not a figurative second), and turn itself onto standby or off or something. Last night I was lucky if I was able to eject the tray, but I seem to be able to do that fine now. I'm wondering if it isn't something to do with the laser maybe being a bit dusty or for some reason not being able to catch the beginning of the disc.
Anyway, I was wondering if this was "a thing", or if I should return it. Almost sure it's still in warranty, but have a very untidy room, so difficult to find out. I bought it from Argos about 2 months ago. Any help please, or tell me if you need more info, but I just want to know what I need to do, because it's a nice cheap upscaling DVD player I got on a half-price offer at Argos. It was around £20-30.
