How to Troubleshoot a Portable Daewoo DVD

Troubleshoot your DVD player.

The Daewoo DVD player allows you to easily watch your DVD movies wherever you go. The portable DVD player is smaller than a laptop computer and its only function is to play DVD movies. However, if you find the Daewoo device is not performing up to par and the DVD movies are not running smoothly (such as video skipping or not loading at all) you need to troubleshoot device to correct the problems.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement batteries
• Compressed air
• DVD movie

Instructions

1. Replace the batteries in your portable Daewoo DVD player. As the batteries begin to die, the playback is going to fail. Remove the batteries and insert new batteries to power on the device.

2. Inspect the underside of the DVD you are using in the DVD player. If the DVD is scratched or dirty, the playback issues are likely due to the disk and not the Daewoo DVD player.

3. Spray compressed air into the open DVD compartment (where you insert the DVD). Dust and other debris can build up on the lens of the DVD reader. The compressed air removes the debris from the lens and allows it to run smoothly again.

4. Check your DVD to see if is a DVD you burned at home or if the disk is an actual DVD movie you purchased from the store. Daewoo DVD players often have difficulty reading certain DVD formats or DVD brands. If the DVD movie is not playing, it is typically due to this reason.
