20 Most Recent Sony DVP-SR200P DVD Player - Page 4 Questions & Answers

i have sony dvp-sr100 and the tray is locked

It wounds that the optical pickup unit is faulty.

Sounds like you have to smash and grab your dvd and bye a new player, once forced open will never work properly again sry...

It could be here the motor inside that loads/unloads the disc. If unit is opened try to localize where the sound is coming from--is it from the motor or the mechanism?Replacement DVD players are real cheap now so maybe.........

HelloIts mother board should be suspected. There is an IC, wich is not a repalceable one, processes all video and audio signals from the laser pickup unit. If the fault begins after some time, this IC should be suspected, as it will heat up to an extent. If it overheats, due to some inteernal circuit faults, the problem you describe can occur.Just contact an experienced service technician, or the Authorised Service Center for Sony at your town.

--------------------------

Please Note: Some DVD players have an internal switch setting that allows you to choose the country code. Others have this option hard coded. You may find a lot of advice in newsgroups as to how to by pass this feature. Just be aware that this will always nullify your warranty. I don't track hacks or modifications. You may want to try a site that specializes in these things such as DVD Region Hacks. Again, please be warned, you can ruin your player if your apply any unauthorized modification to your DVD player. You can try contacting the manufacturer they often will help.
