A sequence of event has made my dvd player completely dead. First my 3 year old inserted multiple dvds causing the carousal to get stuck. It would not rotate. I hold the unit down and gave a little shake and dvds started to fall, but the unit would still not close. The unit had power till now. It was displaying C 31 00 message, and it meant "disk is not inserted properly", that was true as it carousal was not going in. I shaked the unit a little and I heard a screw or something rattling, after that I lost the power in the unit. I opened the case and found that one lever (with spring attached) was slightly mislocated, I fixed that and I was able to push the carousal in, but still no power. I don't have a voltmeter, but I checked power to the click switch using regular line tester, it has power till there. What else can I do to revive this? Thank you very much
Did you check the fuse on the main board?? Just be carefull when testing this unit with it open as it has line voltage on the power transformer. Unless you get a multi-meter and a diagram showing you the power supply your dead in the waterman. Sorry but you need the proper equipment to work on these things. This problem might even be a bit harder to find for A tech as its a man made problem I would advise at this point to put it together abd take to the shop. Good Luck

The fuse looks good, the wire inside is intact. I am afraid that the repair may cost as much as the new one. Sony has exchange program for this for $136.00
