Appliance Repair

This is where we discuss how to repair appliances, large and small. We are not waiting for #right2repair law to be enacted. The civil disobedient practice of repairing instead of wasting and re-buying is welcome here. I will also turn a blind eye toward “piracy” of manufacturer service manuals that are otherwise unavailable to the general public.

The DVD player wouldn't start, I opened it and here it is. How do you call this composant (1009) ? Do you think it fried because the fuse fried first? How do you even change this type of thing?

U501 looks burned. Can you read anything printed on top of that chip?

Edit: can you take that board out and take a pic of the other side?

I found the top of the chip! Picture below CHN Viper17H KNJOO ?

Yes, you're right. It's U501 that's burned. Can't read anything on the chip though. I'll try to take the board out and send another picture.

If you can find that chip online you could replace it. You would have to take the board out, unsolder the old one, and solder in the new.

Yep, found it online. €13.90 with shipping. My local used electronics shop sells players for 19.90 and I don't have a soldering iron...

Well either way you will now have a working player! Cheers!

You're right, thanks for pointing the silver lining!
