Sony DVP-FX810: It won't turn on.

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:46:13 -0700

I have checked the battery with multimeters, it's giving me like .1 Volt, which I don't think is very good. Also, the output which I am trying to check, was 1 volt earlier, but is now down back to .006 volts, which I'm not sure is right. Does anyone know what might be causing this? It won't turn on, even with the battery out.

Sony DVP-FX980: Looking for laser adjustment screw

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 08:33:53 -0700

Usually dvd players have a screw inside that you can monkey around with to get your laser flowing better if the player isnt reading very good

this is the underside of the laser and the two screws on the circuit board here are my best guess lmk your thoughts

Sony DVP-SR200P: Power On/Off not working

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 08:52:04 -0700

***

Actually, my device wasn't listed....***.

I want to fix a Sony 5 disk, CD/DVD player for 95 yr parents who don't have the Internet to watch movies or stream music (can't afford it).

They have a Sony player, model DVP-NC665P, Serial #1103500.

For a while it has been turning on, sometimes not. Pressing the button sometimes caused an instantaneous blip of display, top middle of the screen, and then it goes out. Now nothing happens.

Any idea of what to fix or replace? (Thanks for the idea to include image(s) of circuit board(s). Hope that helps.

Thanks,
John

Sony DVD Player: Sony dz950 DVD player brief white light and no power

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:05:16 -0700

Hi, I have a Sony DZ950 that suddenly became non-functioning. It could be because my house had a power tripped recently.

When I tried to turn on the DVD, the white light at the bottom of the DVD screen shows a white light for about half a second and fades out. It won’t power on so no error message and even the welcome message “Hello” is not showing. The DVD player just turned off as soon as the button is released.

I tried to open it up but see no obvious damage on all the fuses. AC power input is fine when measured with an ammeter. However, 12V and 5V output doesn’t seem to work. Can someone please guide how to pinpoint the exact issue from here?

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

Sony DVD Player: No power on Sony model DVP-SR510H DVD player

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:44:20 -0700

Push the power button, no power ‘on’ light. Made sure it was properly plugged into the surge protector strip, check. Make sure the strip was plugged into an outlet and the power is on, check. Unplug it from the power strip and connect it to another wall outlet in the kitchen that has power. Push the power button, still no power light. Is it because these are not expensive that they die so easily? Can I fix it?

Sony DVP-FX730: Replacement battery connexions for Sony DVP-FX730

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 18:25:01 -0700

The original battery was thrown out by mistake which had the 3 way male adapter. An article states that you can use two 3.7V batteries. The connection to the original battery has 3 wires, red, white and black.

Can you explain how the 3 wires should connect to the two 3.7V batteries?

I am an electronics engineer.

Sony DVD Player: DVD and CD Disk not reading

Fri, 20 May 2022 05:39:36 -0700

Ive got a CD/DVD/3D Blue ray player that wont recognize a disk (tried CD and DVD's). I have it all apart and cleaned the reader with a q-tip (aka Fleece Crested Scepter of Q-Teep). The laser dose turn on (I see it turn purple yes I know don't burn my eyes out) and the head moves back and forth. My big questions is should the disk be spinning when its checking for a disk? The motor dose spin free by hand but the disk doesn't spin when it checking for a disk. A lot of guides mention turning some potentiometer to adjust the laser power; I cant find any on this model.

The model number is HBD-N760W

A capacitor on the mains power input board blew and I replaced it. Now the DVD player powers up, runs for five to ten minutes the shuts down. After letting it stand off for a while it can be started again then the cycle repeats. What component coul be causing this fault?
