If Your DVD Player Is BrokenMost household appliances produced overseas break very easily when used in our country. This also concerns the ones produced by the ubiquitous Asian manufacturers who have bought first-grade licences for making electronics in mass demand. Many customers in Russia have already experienced these problems. Most likely this happens not just because the sensitive electronic systems can't endure network overloads that are so common here since most manufacturers pay a lot of attention to the quality and durability of their products. It is possible that the problems appear because the devices stay turned on for longer periods than they are designed to endure. Often state-of-the-art technology is handled without proper care either. Let's not talk about all the negative sides of modern electronics. In any case, most electronic devices, especially those manufactured in Europe, work just fine till the end of their warranty life.A DVD player! This modern device for playing DVDs has brought so much happiness into our comfortable and cosy homes. Every day we spend our time in front of the screen watching and discovering the boundless, unexplainable and interesting worlds. Sometimes what we watch is not suitable for our children and we hurry to make them go to their bedrooms. However, electronics break quite often even if treated with special care.Let's look closer at some of the common reasons why our DVD players break. The first one is voltage jumps and swings in the electricity network. The power supply starts malfunctioning. There is some sort of protection against excess voltage in it. The voltage-controlled resistor can save the whole device, if it manages to...The preventer is usually the last thing to burn out. Its turn comes when certain components in the circuit have already burnt. These are the filter, field assembly, and voltage reference diodes... All of these cost little and can be easily fixed. You can take it to a repair shop or fix it yourself if you know how to do it. The second reason is voltage separation of the source. Here we need to compare the cost of the device with the cost of repairing it. Because of the part that had burned out there is usually no sense in fixing it. Broken optics is the third and most common reason. If the device was expensive there might be a point in repairing it. But if it was cheap there is no sense in doing anything.So what's the conclusion? A DVD player is the disposable type of electronics and this is often reflected in its price; though there are expensive players with good packaging, well assembled twin-laser heads, processing units, etc. My conclusion will be as follows. If you buy a DVD player don't try to spare it - use it. Let it take care of your health. You can't predict what will break and when it will happen. And if something does break, don't throw it right away. Take a look inside. Some things can be used in your household. For example, the power supply working with several voltages. It's not very powerful but usable. You can use the power mechanism with motors that hardly ever break and the box for all sorts of stuff.So you see that there is so much you can do with modern digital technology!

  • nice oscilloscope in the background

  • Excellent videos. I also visited your chipdip.ru website. Nice place.

  • 15$ for a new one @ wallmart. i dont even move my soldering iron for that price.

  • An excellent review, which again reveals the mentality of electronic manufactures. Building something that would last yields little profit. They offer newer products, but they too are intended to break with normal use. That is the greed of the world today! They are not concerned about you, they only want your money!

  • China's reputation in manufacturing is associated with pure junk; useless trash. They have no credibility where quality is the standard of the world, but what do you expect from a people who eats their pets! We're surprised they don't eat each other!!

  • this is a waste of time...no info here on how to fix it.

  • yeap you got that right, the power supply is very good to other devices and there are a lot of good parts inside, i don't understand why people trow them....nice video :)

  • Make a laser

  • great video man

  • complete fuck.

    motherfucker
