Disk light, play light and power button are all on but player won't turn on or respond to any buttons being pushed. I tried unplugging and also on another tv. Any suggestions?
A solution:
The problem I found with a unit I just got was that there is a capacitor next to a B1117 voltage regulator, I also though that
the problem was that this component was overheating but the
solution was to simply replace a 16V 100uF capacitor with a
bigger one, in my case a 16V 470uF.
Now my DWM-400 is working great.
If for obvious reasons you can't perform the replacement, just
take your unit to a repair shop and tell them to look for that capacitor.
tip: there are three B1117's, the one in question is the hottest one.
I have a similar problem with the Sanyo DWM-400. I also cannot turn power off. Even when I unplug it and then again plug in the power cord it will come back on after several minutes all by its self. It will then work okay for a few minutes and will play a DVD and will suddenly quit showing a picture. It seems that something is overheating shortly after turning it on. After letting it sit and cool down for a while it will play again but only for few minutes. Although I have had this player since April 2004 it has rarely been used. I estimate it only been used no more than 10 hours total. With so many buyers having this problem Sanyo should issue a recall on this model.

Power light, play and open tray light all stay on. I cannot turn power off. What do you expect for a cheap piece of crap.
Same problem. The light for power and "disc in" are lighted, but I can't get anything else to work. When I power down and start over the same thing happens.
I am having similar issues. The DVD gets stuck in the player and it wont eject. None of the buttons will respond. The red light on the front of the machine stays on.
My dvd player is doing the same thing. After a few minutes both play and eject will light up and the player becomes unresponsive and will not do a thing. I know they are cheap but should probably last a little longer than this.
