I have a Samsung bd-p1500 Bluray player that says "No Disk" with both bluray and dvd's. I've tried the firmware update, the reset trick and cleaning the lens. A replacement drive mechanism would cost too much to be worth it. All the caps look good ( Although I know that doesn't always mean anything) Any ideas?

Re: Samsung "No Disk" error
I purchased an used one and the seller said that it would not play blu-rays, but it did play dvds okay. It says "no disc" for blu-rays.Originally posted by gorr35 View Post
I did all the same thing as you (firmware, clean, reset) and nothing worked. I took it apart and nothing seems wrong so I am thinking it is the blue laser itself or the mechanism is out of alignment.

Re: Samsung "No Disk" error
The Samsung one I bought used was only 14 months old according to original owner (just past warranty). The manufacture date is Oct 2008.Originally posted by PCBONEZ View Post
My Sony BDP-S350 made in Aug 2008 and still going strong. Ironically, I originally got the P1500 as a gift, but returned it in favour of the Sony.
My Sony 5 disc DVD changer was purchased in 2004 and gets heavily used for music and dvds and still works fine.
edit: And the Sony 5 disc player was refurbished item.Last edited by retiredcaps; 01-11-2011, 01:07 AM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung "No Disk" error
OK i've noticed that when I put in a disk, the drive does about 3 - one quarter turns before the "No Disk" message. So could it be the spindle motor?Comment

Re: Samsung "No Disk" error
Why don't you play with the pots to give the laser a little more power. Be sure to record their original position and move them in very small increments."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Or better, MEASURE first and after.Originally posted by mockingbird View Post
The pots are somewhere around 2k and a hundred ohms can be the difference between a perfectly working unit and a blown laser - been there, done that. Lost a really nice modded DVD player to that mistake.
