I removed all the screws from the bottom. There are 16 screws. 4 are under the corner rubber feet (not under the two feet at the midline). The feet can be peeled off with a knife. One screw is under a warranty void stick - I had to break that sticker. After removing all the screws the player came apart easily. The cable from the screen has a white connector on the motherboard. There is no clip on this connector and it can be easily removed. I removed it and then reseated it. I replaced the battery without putting the screws back and held the player together by hand while turning on the power switch. I got the initial blue screen. I then tried a DVD and it showed up on screen. I replaced all the screws and it continues to work.
I suspect that the cable connector could work lose again. When it does I might try adding a little epoxy on the cable connector junction to hold it in place.
I dont know if this is the root cause for all blank video reports on your site. But a mechanical failure like a poor cable connection rather than electrical seems to be consistent with reports of intermittent problems before complete video failure.

Portable DVD players are made up of the dvd mechnism, control motherboard and LCD panel. You can buy a defective Sony unit on ebay for parts and replace the dvd mechanism assembly.
Most defective portable dvd players are defective on the control motherboard, just read the defects disclosed on ebay items to decide which one to buy to fix yours.
