Hi folks- all of a sudden, I have no color coming from the S-video port
on this player. Color is there using the composite video port. Have
looked at the back of the PCB in that area with a microscope, checked
continuity from pin 4 (all pins, actually) through the traces- several
resistors and one 100 nF cap appear to be all good.

Any ideas? I'd love to see a schematic of this unit.

Have you checked to make sure the output mode of the player is set to
S-video? Many DVD players have a switch, or menu setting for
S-video/component. In component mode it will only output the Y signal
from the s-video.

Even if it's still set to S-video, it's worth toggling the setting
just in case a software bug caused it to switch to component mode
while still displaying S-video mode in the menu.
