DVD1 module repair

2 replies

Has anyone noticed the same issues that keep appearing on the DVD1 MK1? Aside from the philips mechanism failing after a while (I'm sure I can replace laser modules with my eyes closed now) the other main issue affecting playback seems to be with the main PCB. 

 I have refitted an increasing number of these in recent months, all with the same problem. After a while, the DVD1 stops playing any media, and the AV out fails. After a few issues of replacing optics, then finding out that it isn't the laser, I noticed an increasing occurrence of issues where the power supply to ASL1 starts to fail, causing this problem. 

Is this just limited to the MK1 models, or is this common across all DVD1? I seem to get a lot of issues with power supply modules.  Main problem on the MK1 power supply and microcomputer board is a scorch mark located near to C9 and L7.

 

Sorry to dig out this topic...since you have experience in changing the laser modules on the DVD1 with the Philips mechanism...where can I get one to fix my unit?

Took it to 3 places to see if they could get it repaired (one of those was a B&O store) and nothing...

Thanks in advance! 🙂
