Got a small LG radio/CD player. CD reader starts stumbling just when movie is about to end. Most wrong timing.

Where to get a quick fix, repair or replacement reader. LG service??

Probably a bad disc.

Try on your computer.

Clean the disc, clean the lazer and give the kids a clip under the ear for behaving like brats.

Are your kids revolting

buy one of those cd cleaning kits that is like a cd with aspecial ittle brush.

Messing too much manually can set the tracking out.

A new one for 650 baht at Tesco. DVD, VCD, CD USB etc and plays most things.

Perhaps getting the kids not to use the cd's and DVD's as frisbees and by putting all discs straight back into their respective covers is a good start to avoid this in the future.

this might be an option, however, it's a rather neat compilation of woofer, external speakers , etc worth preserving it.

Take it to PanTip??? And to whom there?

there is a service center at Icon plaza . try your luck there ,

the shop name is Armond there repair and service household stuff .

you might just be able to replace the laser . not 100% sure but i did got my battery fix there for my camera charger

Would be a very cheap nasty set up if the external speakers, woofers etc are somehow welded in (like some power plugs are on cheap units). Even on the cheapest gear you can connect your existing externals to any old or new DVD player. A new DVD player will not have them built in either.

Even on the cheapest gear you can connect your existing externals to any old or new DVD player. A new DVD player will not have them built in either and there is no need to worry about whether the old bits will marry up well with the new bits - unless you are a hifi buff and your existing set up is high end.

Can almost guarantee that an electronics repairer will tell you to throw it away and offer you another one in the 600 baht to 1500 baht price range. No harm in trying though.

Probably worth spending over 1,000 baht rather than under. Some of the cheap units do not permit you to use an HDM1 cable connection - worthwhile if you have a good quality flatscreen TV. If however its just for the kids - my one year old keeps pulling the unit off the TV table and pulling the cables out, so I would be right alongside you here - then go for Tesco's least finest and cheapest and use the three-coloured cheapo leads that come with it.

Friends, for now a cleaning disc seems to have done the trick,

Kids are thrilled and quiet!

Thanks and merry xmas!
