Toshiba DVD Player Troubleshooting - Results Oriented Tips and Advice

Feb. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Performing Toshiba DVD player troubleshooting isn’t something that requires tremendous brain power. You see, back when I was a newbie technician, the first faulty player that I had to look into was a Toshiba brand DVD player.

Back then I didn’t know any better, so I wasted so much time browsing online just to find a detailed Toshiba DVD player repair manual that I could refer to. I couldn’t find one and that was my mistake.

Learn from my experience folks! Don’t waste your time finding a manual that only focuses on a particular brand.

The best approach is to download a repair manual that’s universal. By universal, I mean the manual can be utilized to assist you in repairing a range of DVD player brands.  Use the link below if you need one as soon as possible.

Most technicians I know use universal manuals because they can’t afford to focus all their efforts on fixing Toshiba DVD player units only.  Customers regularly bring in their faulty DVD players and that means they have a wide variety of brands to work on.

So anyway, I thought I post a few basic Toshiba DVD player troubleshooting tips which I think would be really helpful to some of you folks out there. Fixing defective DVD players can be easy once you get the hang of it so don’t sweat it.

- Check the Spindle Motor. Make sure the spinning rate is 500RPM. This particular component is prone to failure because it handles the brunt of the work when spinning the disc.

- What is the ideal reading for a good working spindle motor? The answer is between 5 ohms to 20 ohms. Anything lower or higher than that range means there’s something wrong with the motor.

- Power supply failure due to high ESR. When a capacitor fails because of high ESR, you wouldn’t know for sure even if your keep eyes focused and peeled on the affected capacitor.

You eyes won’t be able to help you detect the high ESR rate. A good quality ESR meter comes in handy for this purpose. I always use my trusty Blue ESR meter to find out whether a capacitor in a DVD player’s power supply has been affected by ESR overload.

For your info, my Blue ESR meter allows me to measure electrolytic capacitors without having to remove them from the board. This saves me times and hassle, plus not mention I get precise reading via this approach.  

Final reminder: It’s not necessary to locate a specific Toshiba DVD player repair manual.  A decent universal fixing manual is much more beneficial because it’ll teach you to troubleshoot various brands of DVD players. For more info, just click on the following link.
