Part 1. Possible Reasons & Fixes to DVD Player Loading Problem
1. Make sure you have heard the spindle motor spinning the disk. If it's spinning faster or slower, try another disc. If the DVD player is not loading all discs, then there could be dirty or bad lens and mainboard of the DVD player. You will need to first clean the DVD player with proper cotton.
To do this, please open your disc tray, make sure to insert the nozzle of the spray, spray the DVD player for 5 to 7 seconds, and then the outer edge, finally wipe down the surface. Now you can check if your DVD player plays disc normally. If that doesn't work either, consider sending the DVD player for repair or replacement.
2. If a car portable DVD player is not loading the DVD discs, check the tin ribbon wire that connects the optic lens and the main board. Replace the cables and restart if necessary.
3. Try another disc, if dvd player stuck on loading problem doesn't happen with another disc, check if the problematic disc is dirty or scratched. If the DVD is scratched, the DVD player cannot reliably read information from the disc and therefore won't load DVD. There are many fixes to DVD player stuck on loading: remove the scratches using toothpaste, peanut butter, Vaseline or copy the scratched DVD into video files.
4. Check if the DVD is region coded, otherwise strictly protected or improperly burned by users. Normal DVD players (except region-free DVD players) won't play foreign DVDs and therefore, it may cause DVD player not loading disc problems. To fix the error, bypass the DVD region codes with special tools.
