Check the power source
The first thing to check when your DVD player is not turning on is the power source. Make sure the power cord is properly connected to both the DVD player and the electrical outlet. If you’re using a power strip, make sure it’s turned on and working properly. Try plugging the DVD player directly into a different outlet to see if that solves the problem. If the DVD player still doesn’t turn on, it may be a problem with the power cord, and you may need to replace it.
Check the remote control
If the DVD player appears to be completely dead, check the batteries in the remote control. If the batteries are low or dead, the remote may not be able to turn the DVD player on. Replace the batteries and try again. If the remote control is not working at all, try replacing it with a new one.
Reset the DVD player
If the power source and remote control aren’t the problem, try resetting the DVD player. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and wait for at least 30 seconds. Then, plug the power cord back in and try turning the DVD player on again. This should reset the player and may solve the problem.
Clean the DVD player
Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate on the DVD player’s components, which can cause it to malfunction. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the DVD player’s exterior, and use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or debris from the interior. Make sure the DVD player is unplugged before cleaning it.
Get it professionally repaired
If none of these solutions work and the DVD player still won’t turn on, it may be a more serious problem that requires professional repair. You can take the DVD player to a repair shop or contact the manufacturer for assistance. Depending on the age and cost of the DVD player, it may be more cost-effective to simply replace it with a new one.
