Hi!

This disc, is it
1) an original Philips cd-i disc, or
2) a copied disk (cd-r) or a cd audio disc ?

In the second case, your cd-i player may be ok! Put the disc in, and if the player displays 'ERR', turn the machine off. Leave the disc in the machine! Now turn it on again. The disc might work. If not, try again. If the disc won't run after a few times, try another one or try an original cd-i disc.
Note that a cd-i player wont run any cd-rw disc!

If an original Philips cd-i disk wont run, your machine is almost certain broken. :cry: But first make sure that you are not trying to run a DVC title on a machine without a DV Cartridge!

I don't know any company that repairs these players. Some people here did it themselve. Its easier (and maybe cheaper) to buy another, second hand player somewhere.

Good luck!
