In a Philips CDR755, year 2000. Working fine previous time of use and then
nothing at the next use. Turned out to be a 1N5406 size package SB360 3amp
60V shottky diode gone short circuit on the LV side for the 5V rail. No
other colateral damage (not tried recording a CD yet but both decks play)

Beware when attempting to record on one of these. Most if not all Philips CD
recorders need the disc that you are attempting to record on to be a
"CDR-Audio" type, which has an 'electronic watermark' to say that duty has
been paid. These are getting a bit rare to get hold of in shops now, but
still readily available online.
