I just ordered a nuon dvd player from ebay. Everything seems to be in working order including the remote I bought separately. But the dvd player will not load discs. It is stuck on the loading screen indefinitely for everything i put in the disc drive.

Any clue what this could be and any clue how I could fix it?

I'd return it for a full refund if I were you. Sounds like the laser is shot. @midnight8 is right that these players can be repaired by swapping out disc drives with one from a donor player, but in your situation, backed by the eBay Money Back Guarantee, I'd get a refund. That's assuming the seller indicated it was in working order, of course.

Well it seems to work eventually and then continues working, but every time i try to start it up it takes a few tries. I'll look into a replacement drive for the future. I'm going to be using the nuon VLM pretty consistently, don't want it t burn out.

I agree, I would talk to the guy about a refund, there are a couple more dvdn501's available on ebay right now

Yes there are multiple on the market right now. I would wait of or throw the seller a offer for maximum of $100 with shipping included if it does not come with the remote/manual or the orignal box. paying $100 for the console alone is a little much, plus if you wait people post between 1-3 players every 2-3 weeks. So if you/people wait the market will get saturated then the sellers will be throwing offers out left and right. Just happened like around 2 months ago, then people went crazy and bought all of them up. But now there's more players on the market.

I bought mine super cheap by waiting for a bid and offers. Someone won a bid for about a month or so ago for 35 + 20 shipping ridiculous deal.

I just had the problem come up for myself. I was using the VLM and then I shut it off when I was done. The next time I tried to use it my player it stayed on load and would not eject the disc. How did you sway the disc drive open? did you have to open the machine to get to the internals?

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
