DVD player (JVC XV-F80) repair or replacement part needed

[ceramic]

I'm working on this DVD player (JVC XV-F80) that was not working due to a DVD inserted incorrectly. When I opened it up the DVD was completely shattered with pieces everywhere. I managed to clean it out and everything was working but it wasn't able to play DVDs very well; it will slow down and pause sometimes. As at now, the DVDs wont play at all - I get a "No Disc" error when I insert a DVD. I tried several known good DVDs, same result. It works perfectly with audio CDs.

My guess is the pick-up lens (part # LEA10024-01) is bad and need to be replaced. However I couldn't find any online. Any help at all will do. Thanks in advance.

This JVC parts supplier may have what you are looking for. The description appears appropriate, but the part numbers don't match.

Thanks for the link. Looks like that will work.
Before I consider buying it though I want to be sure the problem is the pick-up lens. Could the problem be from any other source?

>>Could the problem be from any other source?<<

Absolutely it could. If its playing CD's (you do mean VCD's, correct?) but not DVD's, I doubt very much the problem is a broken optical pickup. (@ $75 a pop)

It may be that the pieces hit the pickup and knocked it out of alignment. If that's the case, you will likely need to send/take it to a repair facility that has the equipment to realign it.

What in blazes caused a DVD to shatter INSIDE the player??? They're difficult enough to break OUTSIDE, so what happened in there? These mechanisms are ~usually~ set up to detect a jam and go into reverse to remove the problem. The force required to break a DVD probably broke or severely damaged some part of the drive mechanism.

I would be looking for a damaged drive wheel, broken gear(ing), bad motor, bent or broken "something".
