    Audiosonic DV-3300FA (DVD player)

    I was given a disfunctional DVD player recently, the previous owner had been curious and had opened it up pulling bits out here & there... it's PSU board caught my eye and I thought I'd share, the dubious brand capacitors were marked KYS vent (and that's exactly what they were doing)

    I suppose the case could be used for some electronics kit... I dunno'

    I examined this model as well and had the KYS capacitors as you described (The front flap was missing, so I scrapped the whole player)
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Yeah, it defintely wasn't worthy of any time to fix it, though this one does have the DVD drive facia... may end up as a housing for a low powered hardware firewall or similar

        That would be pretty cool if it does happen!

        I am not sure if this is an economical at all, but wouldn't it be cool to have a small low powered media centre PC in there. Somehow fitting in one of those small VIA based nano-ITX or micro-ATX motherboards inside and actually making use of that DVD Drive facia to play DVD's and/or other stuff.

        I guess it would be cool but also a fairly expensive project.

          No not too expensive though ITX form factor gear is not cheap, think epoxy glue back of fascia & front (tray) of PC DVD player, IIRC there was a VHS based media centre floating around somewhere on the net

          The real difficulty if locating something that will fit the lower profile DVD enclosures, mobo/CPU + Heatsink kinda' starts getting quite tall

            Interesting idea. Some older DVD players are taller and much bigger all around. They might work better. You could probably put a common MicroATX board in many of them, but not too high profile. Same would also be true of early CD players. But a CD player won't have all the outputs you'd want on the back, so that would be less convenient to convert.

            I have an early 5-disc DVD player which is huge, but I'm not sure what I'd do with the carousel. A single disc player would be more convertible to a PC.

              Split the carousel cover into stealth drive covers. Should not be too difficult.
