Title: Fix My DVD Player
Post by: MotorOil1 on May 09, 2007, 01:39:07 PM: I have an APEX 1250X DVD Player which plays DivX format files. Up until yesterday it worked fine. I now get the message "No supported files found" when tring to play a DivX disc. Regular DVDs play fine and DivX DVDs I've played in the past aslo do not function suggesting the problem is only with the DivX function.

The user manual kind of sucks and the web site is no help. I've reset the device, unplugged it and tried a dozen different discs. Anyone have any suggestions? Any one have this problem before?

Don't make me go out and buy a new one.....

There are two proven fixes...

Note to MotorOil: "Never buy a Dvd player thats costs less than the Dvd you're going to play on it"

Damn Motor, at $20 thats practically a disposable player. I'll bet on the bottom of the dvd player its says only good for 100 plays, or it has an expiration date...
