Howdy,
My roommate purchased a Sony DVD player from Wal-Mart (Bad idea IMHO; always seem like they get manufacturer's "seconds"). The player is okay, but ~1 in 10 power ons or so it will not turn on, and end up having to unplug the unit from the wall, plug it in again, and it'll turn on. Been sitting around for awhile, waiting to take a trip to the landfill. One day (today), I decided there wouldn't be any harm in crackin' her open to examine caps and solder joints. The soldering is in my opinion sub-par but acceptable, but as far as the caps they used: (1) Rubycon 10v 2200uF, but a BUTTLOAD of Lelon caps.
Questions:
1. What are the chances of the Lelon's being the cause?
2. Has anyone else had this problem with this model of DVD player?
3. Can anyone else back up my anecdotal Wal-Mart's got junk seconds theory?
4. Is there any questions I should've asked?
Thanks for any and all comments and inputs you may have. I'll post pics if requested.
