Sony s300 blu ray will not turn on

Hello
This is the picture of Sony BDP-S300 BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER. The second one is its opened view. OK.

Hello
To reset your Sony BDP-S300,
When the power is ON, hold down the button between 'pause' and 'fast rewind' buttons, on the front panel of the player and press the 'Power" button on the frnt panel itself. No remote control function is required. The player will turn 'OFF" and all of the settings will return to their factory defaults. OK.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps and check the operation.

1. Power on the BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc player.
2. Immediately after "POWER ON" is displayed on the front panel display (within one second), press the "STOP" button on the player. The disc tray opens and the player turns off automatically.
   Note: Pressing the "STOP" button on the remote control does not work. It is necessary to press the "STOP" button on the BDP-S300 player.
3. If the disc tray still does not open, repeat these steps but vary the timing of pressing the "STOP" button in step 2.

• If the issue persists, please unplug the Blu-ray Player for more than 2 minutes and then reconnect it.

Please let me know if you require any clarifications. Thank you for understanding.

There are firmware upgrades at the Sony site, I just upgraded to v5.20. You download an .exe file, run it under Windows, burn the resulting .iso file to a CD, insert the CD into the BDP-S300 and wait about 20 minutes. More detailed directions on the site, too.

rub some benzine on the disc leave it for 10 minutes then polish it off with a soft cloth

Does your player load the blu-ray menus?
Mine wouldn't until I updated it's firmware.
