Title: DVD player question
Post by: dazie on October 14, 2005, 08:28:05 PM
What could cause a DVD player to "all of the sudden" stop showing color or focus?  Mine just shows blurry shades of blue now, and according to my children, they were just watching and "it just happened!"

A hammer or jelly on the laser reader.

hmm.  How about a great dane with a bungee cord wrapped around its legs running into said DVD player?

That's what happens when I put pancakes in my DVD player.

Are you sure none of the plugs are loose?

I wiggled them all, it didn't seem to help.

I did send the children to bed though.  That helped ME.

Oatmeal in the disc slot.

Dig our your receipt, it's still pretty new.

Ursus fixed it.  I don't know what he did.

You know- I think that may have been it.
