DVD Player Common Troubles
No Power/Dead Set
Defective Sections/Stages/Components:
Remedies/Solution:
I. Power Supply Section- Check the supply voltage input and DC output, look for the defective
components. Some is physically damaged and some must be check by multimeter/VOM- if
the trouble is persisting replace whole power supply by same brand and model.
AC Stage Supply: It must have 90-250 ACV 50/60 Hz
1. Plug and Cord- Check the continuity, replaced if found defective
2. Power Switch- Check the continuity, replaced if found defective
3. Fuse- Check the continuity, replaced if found defective, same power rating
4. Line Filter/AC Filter Capacitor- replaced or resolder
Switching Mode- Switch Off- It must switching ON
1. Opto-coupler-swap replaced or resolder
2. Power IC-swap, replaced or resoldered
DC Stage Supply and Output- It must have 12, -12 and 5 DCV
1. Full Bridge Rectifier Diode- replaced or resolder
2. Filter Capacitor- replaced or resolder
3. Dropping Resistor- replaced or resolder
4. Chopping Transformer- replaced or resolder
5. Secondary rectifier diode, fast diode filter capacitor, transistor and resistor- replaced
or resolder
6. DC Output/wire connector-resolder or check continuity
II. Mainboard/Logic Board/MPEG Board- Mostly if this has damaged you will replace the whole board,
just look for the same brand and model of the DVD player
1. Central Processing Unit- resolder
2. SDRAM/EEFROM- resolder
3. Other components- resolder
Defective Sections/Stages/Components
Remedies/Solutions:
II. Optical Pick-up/Lens Assembly- it must be free from dirt and scratch, replace the whole
optical pick-up if the trouble persist
1. Lens objective- clean the lens by cotton bud
2. LASER diode- replace or resolder
3. Trimmer Resistor- adjust the resistance of the trimmer resistor
4. Flexible/Flex Cable- replace or realign
5. Lens Assembly- replaced or swap
III. Mechanical Section- whole mechanism should be free any dirt, crack and damaged
1. Spindle motor- test by ohmmeter X1, if found defective replace it.
2.Sled Motor- stuck-up or partially shorted or damaged
3. Sled- check the function of sled, use lubricant to fix some problem
4. Disc Chuck and Clamper- the height of the disc chuck must proper and the position is ok
5. Locked-engaged- is must be fully engaged and properly position
6. Contact Switch- free from dirt
7. Motor Board- look for the bad solder and check the connections
8, Ribbon Wires- check continuity and the connections
IV. Power Supply Section- Power supply must have 12,-12 and 5 DCV
1. Components on the power supply- check the possible leaky components like diode,
capacitor transistor or IC, some components is partially shorted. Cold or bad connections
is also possible reason for low voltage power supply.
V. Mainboard/Logic Board/MPEG Board- Mostly if this has damaged you will replace the whole
board, just look for the same brand and model of the DVD player.
1. Central Processing Unit- replace or resolder
2. Servo IC- replace or resolder
3. Other components- replace or resolder
Defective Sections/Stages/Components:
Remedies/Solutions:
I. Mechanical Section- it must be free from dirt, crack and function very well
1. Loading/Unloading Motor- test by ohmmeter X1, if found defective replace it.
2. Belt- check the condition of the belt, replace it
3. Gear- clean and use lubricant, replace if damaged
4. CD Tray- replaced if damaged
5. Lock-engaged- use lubricant or replace if damaged
6. Safety Switch- replaced if damaged
7. Motor board- check the connection and resolder the bad solder
8. Open/Close Button Switch- check the continuity, spray contact cleaner or replace if
defective.
9. CD Deck- check damage parts or look for the missing parts. Clean and lubricate.
Trouble: No display
Defective Sections/Stages/components
I. Display Panel-LCD
1. LCD- defective or bad solder
2. Bad supply voltage to the display panel
3. IC driver- defective or bad solder
4. Wire connectors- open or bad contact
II. Mainboard/MPEG Board/Logic Board
1. IC- defective logic controller unsolder
Remedies/Solutions
I. CD deck
1. Broken or missing part
2. Mechanical fault
3. Height of the disc chuck
4. Bent CD tray
