Sony DVP-S9000ES Power Supply (?) problem

[Electronic M]

It's possible the power supply lytics have developed high ESR and or current leakage. There's a bunch of ~$15 ESR/RCL/transistor testers on ebay and Amazon that are great for checking caps in SS gear... IMO they're a must have if you want to start working on SS gear.

Thanks for your reply. I work on solid state gear all the time. But not these things that are 90% meant to not be worked on (nor were built by) human hands. I might be able to get by with replacing the entire PS board, but I don't want to throw good money after, well...good money.

Thanks again for the advice!

It certainly is meant to be worked on, or repaired. Sony wouldn't have published a service manual if it wasn't.

Here's a link to the power supply check procedure. That's a nice player, would be a shame to give up on it.
