Did you ever stop to think that maybe your assumptions are incorrect and
that maybe a guy with a lot of experience with these units might know
something that you don't?

Mark's suggestion was sound. I know that he had more to contribute to
solving your problem, as several of us do. More likely that you will be
mostly ignored with your attitude.

Good techs understand that they waste lots of time when making assumptions
without checking them and that there are lots of things about specific
brands and models that you are likely not going to understand without some
specific experience.

Ok im saying so.
I DONT WANT YOUR ADVISE. GO AWAY
All you do is come on these boards and try and trow a monkey wrench into
eveything.
ive seen you in action before.
You neeed to see a shink dude.
This tech dosent give a **** about your opinions.

Look, I'm not trying to argue, this is just my experience working with
Sony
DVD players almost every day for the past several years.
If you don't want the advice, just say so.

They have an initialization routine which must complete or they shut
back
down quickly. USUALLY, but maybe not always, this also means the display
never comes on.

I disagree.
If i were to Jam a working unit so the try didnt spin, the display
sure
as hell would com on.
Is that what your trying to tell me?

Nope. It won't fire the display because the initialization routine
failed.

My fealing is that whatever controles the display is also
controling
the
turn
on signal to the power supply. Until it gets that signal the
entire
machine
is
DEAD. Burt like ive said earlier, if Anyone has the Power supply
Voltages
Please Post them. or better yet if you have the schematic diag.
please post that.
The giant carousel should be trying to move Home from whereever
it is. there is NO attempt to move the motors at all.

You need to fix the motor drive problem. Might be impossible
without
the
service manual however. The presence / non-presence of motor B+,
whether
it's 7, 10, 12 volts or whatever, and the drive signal from some
incredibly
complex IC.
Could be a mechanical hang-up in the feed motor - it's usually
replaced
as
a
complete ass'y with the pickup.
Try manually moving the pickup to it's "home" inside position
and
see
if
the
power stays on.

SONY DVP-CX860
No..Actually the Flourescent display is Dark and not lighting
up.
Ive done some digging, there is the 5 volt running throught
things
and i have high frequency at the crystal next to the micro.
i can get the LED to go green for about 3 seconds if i press
on
the
eject
button,
but the motors do not attempt to turn at all.
I looked real closly at the display in the dark and hit the
eject
button
and i see the filliments light up very silghtly for the 3
seconds.
Also saw some segments of the display trying to light up.

This thing has those surface mount electrolytics on it, so
I am going to replace them and see what happens.

Does anyone have a schematic on this they can post?

B.T.W.---How come i never see anybody posting schematics or
software
in
here?

Almost Compleatly Dead, No display of any sort.
little red light goes to green for a few seconds, then goes
back
to
red.

Model in particular is DVP-CX860
but also happening in DVP-C650D



Does the word STANDBY flash on the front florescent display
on
the
player?

Try pressing the PLAY button on the front of the player. -
