Messiah1 V5 DVD read error.

[Hull_chipper]

Ello peeps.

I have a V5 fitted with the Messiah1 which will no longer read dvd originals/back-ups or films. The machine remains at the browser screen. If you press 'X' then eventually it will provide a disc read error!

All cd media works fine (originals and back-ups)

Thanx Guys

Try using a laser cleaner disc. If it's a no go then your laser is probably on the way out.

Thanx 4 that Fanta but this one has been working fine for months. The prob remained after I took the chip out, so I'm convinced tis the laser. Wasn't even one of my installs, whoever did it should be ashamed cos the wiring/solder joints were a major mess (with hindsight I should have taken a piccie).
