I been seeing a lot of people having problems with this DVDR. I've taken a look at a few and the components of the power supply are at fault. This poor design leads to many malfunctions like: DVD tray won't open, Squealing or winy noises when turned on, Power won't come on, Screen freezes, Screen turns different colors, DVD NO BURNS, No disc errors, plus more.
I've made a webpage explaining how to fix the power supply your self.
http://www.ilodvdr05.computed.net/ If yours is working get it away from the heat, like other VCRs or Top of TV this little thing can't handle much heat.
Your supose to use the information to try and fix it yourself.
Replacement parts are really cheap, you might even be able to get them at radio shack, or take them from an old vcr, car amp, or computer board. It's important you check the values of the used parts you use cause most capacitors don't all have the same values.
http://www.ilodvdr05.computed.net/to_rea...n_capacitor.htm If your luckly and the parts match closly you could fix it for free or it might cost 3.00 to 5.00 to get new parts. I will also anwser your questions best I can, and might add information to the site as needed. I have to charge what I charge, sorry, got overhead but for 25.00 I fix it and ship it back to you guaranteed to work.
Best advice I can give if you do it your self is "just take your time".
