I have a 26" polaroid with a built in dvd player that won't work.?

Question

tv power up. dvd menu doesn't appear.

dvd stuck in player won't reject

Answer 1

We need more info to work with on question.

First does the unit power up do you heard the degauss loop when you power up spike?

is it only the DVD player? does the on screen menus appear even if snowy? is the CRT only a dot in center?

BTW on almost any repair to a TV under 30" the cost will be more then cost of the unit new and DVD player is plastic.   Do not work on unless trained professional.

Answer 2

If this is an LCD unit the DVD mechanism alone costs between $150 and ridiculous--not including labor.  This is why when asked I tell people to NOT buy the combo.  If the TV works ok as a TV consider yourself lucky.  In the past the old mechs would make the set inoperable.  Out of warranty?  Buy a $30 DVD player and hook it up the regular way.
