My Homita portable DVD player S2153 for a while until it suddenly stopped functioning correctly because of am "incorrect region code. I've tried looking on it's settings but found nothing wrong. Please help!
DVD players are all assigned a region code when they are shipped from the manufacturer. Then the DVDs that you buy are also assigned a region code so that they will only play on compatible machines. They DVD makers say that they use this to protect copyrights, etc., but it really is a rip off most of the time. My first question is, has the player quit working completely? Or just with a certain DVD? If that is the case, then you have a DVD that may have a different region code. If it has stopped working completely, I would try to research the hack codes for your player to reassign the code.
My portable DVD player stopped working with a message of incorrect disc. (It was not the same brand as yours). I looked up trouble shooting on the internet and was ready to send it to the company to get fixed for $50. My husband decided to take it apart just to see if he could find anything wrong. He said it was very dirty in the inside of it. He cleaned it with a can of compressed air (like for computers) and put it back together and it has been working great for about a year now. I guess I would make sure that the eye that reads the discs is clean and then try to take it apart and make sure the inside is clean.
