Hey Bob,
I have been contacted by several people here in Australia with similar issues. I am more than happy to look at it for you, but freight and repair costs might be an issue. You can find these types of units on Gumtree, Buy, Swap & Sell & Ebay. I am sorry, but I am in NSW & don't know any repairers in your local area.
Are you able to do some testing yourself? These really do suffer from faulty caps & aren't a big job to replace. By the sound of your problem, the optic pickup could be an issue as well. But of course, correct diagnosis would be essential.
Sorry I didn't get back to your earlier, but I only just saw this comment today. 🙂

Hello there
Saw your u tube video on the lg DVD combo player rc689d... and think I need mine repaired. It play cd music but cannot get it to play DVD movies .. tried 3 or 4 but play one... put a cd cleaner through and played music discs but not movies. Bought this 2nd hand and thought I'd convert some of my VHS videos to cd but just testing to see... looks like I might have a dud. Bought VHS head cleaner too... yet to put that through. Was impressed with your knowledge and was wondering whether u might like look at this unit or recommend where I could get this fixed on the Gold Coast. I was trying to connect the L G unit to a computer monitor not a tv. Via hdmi cable.... I hooked up the audio through my old amp and speakers ok. If u can give me some advice it would appreciated... those bought movies should work ok.
Regards
Bob

Hey Henrique,
It's not unusual to find more than one fault when carrying out a repair. I'm glad you were able to benefit from the article. Did you get a chance to check out the video as well?

Good, Mark. Usually, there is one maintenance in each article. In this article, you solved not two, but just three maintenances. That's really new!
