Sony DAV-FC7 Same problem as others, standby flashing & won't play or eject DVD's Get the red stand-by light but cannot turn on the unit. It did this before and I was able to hold down the on/off button for a few seconds and it came back on. This time no luck.

Two thing here.
#one the internal fuse has blown unlikely as the standby light is powered.
Two the power supply unit or switch is faulty.

get some one electrical component with the unit unpluged open the case and check any internal fuses have not blown.
Two check capacities on the power board these are large cylindrical shaped objects. These can dry out and or exploded if faulty relatively cheap to replace.
Second check the power switch actual powers the unit again someone with a multi meter and electrical compertent.
It is probably worth replacing either a capacity or switch anything else may prove false economy
I have replaced power board on other units but to be honest unless the unit was very expensive I would buy new

very bad on heat issue it will fail motherbord in unit wont comincate with droor to open close pretty musch no good now keep speakers in stuff just need a new brain ok

Replace C602 on dvd board. noise on 10v line causing problem.

I had the same problem....but it kept taking longer and longer for it to quiet down, then eventually it just kept whining and I couldn't take it anymore...I had to stop using it for tv and only used it for DVDs (it didn't whine on the dvd function). I was going to get rid of the unit because my old tv died and I had to buy a new flat screen high-def unit, which needs a surround system to do it justice. I then noticed the digital optical connection on the Sony DAV-FC7 as well as my new Direct TV HD-DVR. I bought the optical cable for about $15 and hooked it up....and voila...NO MORE WHINE! If you have the optical connection option....try that route...it might work for you as it did for me. Good luck

because of bad loading mechanisum.
its belt melted i think.can you observe the motor runing sound the inside of player.

nuwan...

Replace C602 on DVD board, noise on 10v line causing problem.

Now the solution (rather, a workaround) for this problem is power off the main supply (or remove the plug from the electrical outlet) and then plug it again. From now, on do not power off the unit. If you have to, then you need to perform the work around again.

I had the same problem and searched FIX and found a solution for a Phillips DVD player that worked on my Sony DAV-FC7 dvd player. Someone posted that they called their Phillips Tech Service and was told to (a) unplug the dvd unit from the wall and wait 20 seconds,then (b) press the standby+plug the unit back into the wall at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. I did this for my Sony DAV-FC7 which would not power on nor eject (just red light on). IT WORKED!! after doing these steps, my SONY powered on and the rented DVD ejected. The dvd palyer works again. Thanks fellow FIXYA "posters".

Hold down the eject button for about 10 seconds
