Sony dvp-cx850D HELP

[tricky69]

I have a Sony dvp-cx850d a 200 disk dvd player. it wasn't reading the dvd most of the time so i opend it up to see if the motor and laser was still working, i took the two ribbon cables off the board for the laser and put them back on and now i can't get unit to power up, red standby light is on when pluged in but when i hit the powe button red light goes out for 2 to 3 seconds and comes back on, i get no green light. any help to get player to turn back on would be very helpful.

Work on them all the time...

Either you have somehow messed up the ribbon connectors( easily gets folded over where it goes in the plug) or it's a coincidence & it decided to quite at the time.

Laser pickup is the number one failure on those units. Easy to find out.There are various built-in test modes which are helpful in diagnosis w/out having to disconnect anything. unless there is a man-made issue involved
