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.

This may sound too simple but...
You said you switched around various inputs but have you tried switching
the s-video cable?
Sometimes they just develop an internal break for no apparent reason.
Always try the simplest thing first.
