Hello,

This is my first post on this forum and I need help. I bought a used Sony MDP 600 Laserdisc player a couple of years ago. I've used it a few times without any issues until today. Every time I load an Ld into the player the digital screen just blinks OFF. I cannot eject not turn the power off after that. Is this a known issue? Is their a reliable fix that I can try or do I need to seek out a professional for repairs?

If so can anyone suggest a reputable electronics repair man/woman? I look forward to any help that anyone can provide.
Thank you

You're going to have to find someone who can do repairs out of their house.
I would say 99.9% of any repair places won't be able to fix these, you could track down a manual and see if you may be able to find out he problem.

Sony LD players were around for a shorter time than Pioneer so there are less techs and 0 parts available, and you are looking at almost 0 parts for Pioneer players.
I would try at your own risk to get that disc out, even if you need to ship this for repairs it should be out so nothing gets damaged.

It may fix your problem once you get that disc out, it may not.
Good luck with it and if you do figure out what the issues are please post as there isn't much info on Sony players, they just weren't as reliable.

There is a guy on YouTube who can repair this particular model. I’m waiting for a response. Right now my pioneer is working so I’m thankful for that. Anyways if I can work out the details with him I'll have list what's malfunctioning and how he fixed the player.

Not sure if you are referring to this guy…..

In any case, it appears many people have observed that this player suffers from a lot of dry capacitor issues on the power supply and main board. I just acquired a 600 as well and will see about replacing the caps and see if that might be the trick.
