@cynthianay26427 could also be that you have a dirty lens. Sometimes just running a commercially available lens cleaner will work. You can pick those up pretty much anywhere (even places like Walmart have those) If that does not work, and hopefully you have the remote for your BR player, you could run the self diagnostics and see what it tells you.

If you find that this is an issue with the BR then it is most likely the optical pickup unit or a dirty lens. Use the SM [document|31923] to work on your drive. It shows you how to disassemble it from the hassis and page #35 how to clean the lens. To work on it is not as complicated as it seems, just stay organized, keep the parts well labelled and separated and make sure no animal can mess with those (my cat is a pain;-)

While you work on your BR player, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has the same problem as you do. Yes there are a few guides for this device, but we can always use more of the in depth guides. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.
