I've seen the main power supply filter cap open up on these.

And I've seen "bad" caps temporarily get better after a period of time.
Sounds like a good place to start checking. And PS caps are generally easy
to replace.



I should have mentioned that the aforementioned filter cap can result in
symptoms similar to those reported by the OP.

FWIW, I had the same problem in an old Tevion DVD player (Aldi
supermarket brand).
