Hi, all. I seemed to be having a bumper electronics meltdown starting this year.
My Pioneer DEH-P7500MP stereo has recently just died on me. It's an older model, but sounded good and clean so a repair would be ideal and at the time I paid a good deal of money.
Very short back story.
Few weeks back I started my car and turned on the system and it had gone into demo mode. I didn't really understand why and didn't think too much of it at the time, but now I know it was an early indicator of some sort. I just reset my settings and continued using it.
I did also have a repair done few months into running, regarding a buzzing noise. Was repaired under warranty and never suffered that issue again.
Now - What I observed during its failure: After turning it on, the screen flickered a few times and then just stopped working.
Basic checks :
All Loom connections are fine
Car fuse is OK
Unit's Fuse is ok too (10 amp)
Considering it's been working for about 10 years I would assume that maybe (hopefully) that a cap or two have died and need replacing.
I've attached a photo with the inside view (CD unit removed).
Plus a schematic pdf
What could be the most likely component failure and I should check?
My MM is only basic with a max testing of 100uf.
Thanks for looking
