content: Hello Everybody,I could not resist the urge and got myself a PROJECTnone working SONY DVP-S9000ES SACD/DVD/CD player. Was not expensive, and it was a local pickup.I know that this is a "newer" device (2001?) and it's pretty complex, and it's a little above my electronic skills, but I was hoping it would be something with standby PS or something along those lines, but it's not ... (?)The unit is dead, not even on standby red LED... If anybody ever troubleshot this player before, I would love to hear your commentsThank you!

content: The Service manual is available. (eghttps://elektrotanya.com/sony_dvp-s9000es.pdf/download.html). Check if there are the requisite voltages coming out of the PSU. Check the fuse F101.

content: Thank you for your reply.Yes, already have a Service manual, and I did some investigation, here is what we have so far:From User manual, I learned that when DVD Player is plugged into the outlet and you press the Power button, you should get a red LED above the power button and when you press Eject, the device should be completely turned ON. (or via Remote, power on)So I got very excited, that ahaaa missing standby +5V somewhere!, but no (those you see in YT videos onlyPower from the wall gets on the first board that they call AC-113, that board also has the relay that we need to click.AC-113 also has 5V reg that is working, and that 5V travels via CN106 to board FR-172, where we have some type of voltage doubler that makes that 5V to 30V I get those voltages too on the board connector. All voltages are there on FR-172 every IC and transistor w/voltage markings are OKI am looking for something called P.CONT on pin2 of that CN106 so I can turn power relay onI hope it's not some kinda of microprocessor (I see one down in the chain board FL-114 IC204) DVD player is built with super high-quality components, I don't think I have a leaky capacitor!!!Two questions:- what is triggering that standby RED LED?- how do you know in this type of schematic what voltage is there always, and what voltage after unit is ONThank you.

content: you have a fail signal pin who would trigger if i recall on the schematicbut cant recall if it detect a 50 or 60hz presence, and trigger an Fail if theses are not detectedand yes you have an always there 5vdc ...if this one is dead ... nothing will workthe mcu as to drive the pcont pin to make the relay click and power up the xformer etc ...yes this cd player is complex , it's from the Esprit series ... they where high tech at the time lollyou have section 3-10 and 3-11 who explain the power block sectionsbut i would say, if you don't have enough knowledge .... or understanding it may be difficulttrouble shoot and don't change parts for nothing, you'll get nowhere

content: I would operate the relay by temporarily connecting its pin 3 or the collector of Q101 to ground. That should power everything up and the display. If yes then see if all the controls (except power on/off) work. If they do than your problem is confined to why the relay is not being operated. But if the unit is not responding to buttons/remote control then more likely the control microprocessor is more widely involved.The P.CONT signal comes from pin 24 of IC204 on page 4-79. The signal passes though the board on page 4-85/86. That IC204 feeds the display pins. Check the Ever+5 and Ever+3.3 voltages on pins 5, 7 and 8 of CN201, page 4-79.

content: Sorry, work got in the way ...So I tried shorting the collector of Q101 to the ground and I got only SACD front panel LED ON, I also heard the motor going on for 2 sec, and that's about it.Next I'm planning to check the voltages on CN201... will report back shortly

content: I don't get voltages on CN201:5 - +5V note there7 - +3.3V not there8 - +3.3V not therealso pins 2 and 3 - have nothing, that it's a display tube filament, although this one may come in after relay clicksWill doublecheck 5v and 3.3v again tomorrow, it's very weird type of connecter (see image above)

content: The EVER+3.3 is derived from EVER+5 by IC101 on page 4-85 so if EVER+5 is down then EVER+3.3 will be down too.The EVER+5 comes in to 4-85 on pin 4 of CN101. That connects to pin 4 of CN106 on 4-92. That comes directly from pin 2 of IC101 which is the 5 Volt regulator. You said that is working. Except for FB103 (4-85) which is an inductor there are no components between that regulator output and the 5 Volts input to the 3.3 Volt regulator and the 5 Volts input to the microprocessor board. Check the continuity of that FB103. It should be very low resistance. If it is open I doubt it has failed of its own accord. More likely excessive current has fused it. Prime suspects would be the electrolytic C101, IC101 and al the places that EVER5 goes to on 4-81.

content: Located C101 (22uF 16V) ESR 5I even removed it from the circuit, but still nothing.Measured ferrite beads:FB101 - 0.9FB103 - 1.1FB104 - 0.3FB101 and FB104 were measured as a referenceFrom removed C101 I measured the resistance it was about 1.8kI still can't measure 3.3v on CN201 but I do have 3.3v on the "BUZZ" board CN301 (4-81) I have 3.3V there, and it the same 3.3V that converted from 5V B+I think I can't measure 3.3V because by meter leads are too big, tried with the resistor leg wrapped around, and I think I saw something... very weird connector

content: You need to confirm if those voltages are present on the board or not. The connector is not the only place you can measure. If you cannot access other points when the board is in situ and powered up, temporarily solder some lengths of wire that you can bring out to your meter.

content: Thank you for advise. Over the weekend I had some time, and continue troubleshooting: attached some wires and I was able to get voltage readings from following TPs:CN201 (board FL-114 page 4-79)pin 1 - OVpin 5 - 5V OKpin 7&8 - 3.3V OKI also checked voltage on the IC204:pin 16 VCC - 3.3V OKAnd PIN 4 on CN203 also has 3.3VMaybe something wrong with IC204 reset circuit

content: I am not sure if I can consider this a fix, but DVD player is working now.I purchased another DVP-9000ES with mechanical issues, trashed cover, and a partially damaged front panel.The power supply controller was working, so replacing Fl-114 board fixed my DVD player!Now I have a weird issue with the remote when the front panel is installed back on DVD player, it looks like it's blocking the IR sensor, and I can't control the player.IR diode is mounted on the PCB, and the front cover has a cutout specially designed for that IR "eye"

content: Found the issue with IR not working when the front panel installed on the DVD player.There is a small flex cable that connects to the CN203 from the front panel Play, Stop, Pause etc. Unfortunately, there is no information about this board other than its name Switch Block Control and part number 1-476-236-11If the front panel buttons are not connected, DVD player works with the remote... Looks like something is shorting VDC on that board.Waiting for some spare DVD player parts hopefully will be able to replace the front buttons.
