I got a Denon 2800 DVD player today I ordered and it didn't work, I opened it up and saw this. Is repair possible for this? if so, how much would something like this cost?

    Is it double sided as in having traces on the top side also?If it's doubled sided then it's junk,if single sided someone with lots of time and good soldering skills might be able to add wire jumpers across the break.In fact if you were local I would take a stab at it for you.

    Ouch. Agreed there is no easy repair that I am aware of. You would need to replace the entire board, which is basically the unit...

    Where did you get it from? Can you get a refund?

    @FTGV, Oh yeah, all metal was disconnect along the crack. I had a little trouble unscrewing that screw because it was almost covered by the broken part.

    The seller said he'll contact FedEx Tuesday, then contact Amazon about if it needs to be shipped back to him and is going to get me a refund. Other than that, this DVD player is BIG! I really like the way it looks, it just didn't work:( I was pretty sad about it not working. It looked really nice on top of my stereo reciever... sad day.

    Oh I'm getting something else! I'm planning on either another one like this or a Universal player.

    If you are looking for something else, I will make the same recommendation I made to another member earlier tonight. I really like the Pioneer Elite DV-79AVi. It is a great universal DVD/SACD/DVD-A/CD player. I pulled mine back out tonight because I hadn't listened to SACD in a couple months :D I forgot what I was missing. It really is a decent unit, and there is one on Audiogon right now for $275!!!

    Yes I can see from the pic the traces are broken.It's tedious work but I have seen this type thing repaired by soldering wire jumpers from one side of the break to the other,thus restoring continuity between the traces.
    But since you are getting a refund no need to worry about that.:smile:

    @Don, not a bad price for a Pioneer Elite at all! I haven't heard any Pioneer elite products but am using a pioneer DVD player now going on 6 years without a problem. Pioneer is definitely up there in my "great stuff" list:)

    sounds good FTGV. I can imagine it being tedious work. I actually thought about trying that myself but I'm all too brilliant with soldering things so plans are just getting another something.

    I have heard a lot of people say they like it better than the Oppo BDP-83 and BDP-93 for SACD, CD, and DVD-A playback... I have one coming, so we shall see! The BDP-95 on the other hand would probably overtake the 79AVi... But it is a $1,000 player.

    They have 2 that I know of, but they are pricey!!! But they are SACD/CD. They are as follows

    PD-D9MK2-K - $1500 - Wolfson DACs

    PD-D6MK2-K - $700 - Buur-Brown DACs

    Those are retail prices, but I am not sure where you would get them. I have never tried to source them before.

    Thanks. I don't care if it includes SACD, I just don't need it and I'd rather not have a bunch of video works inside either. $700.00 doesn't seem too bad. I'd like to try a newer player than all the vintage ones I've got (PD 9010X) I have a M.Fidelity tube buffer to put in the line from CDP to preamp to smooth things up a bit.:smile: Thanks again!

    WHAT? wow, that's pretty awesome! I've heard that the Oppo has one of the best Cd players out there.

    I should know for sure next week... But ithe DV-79AVi is kind of a sleeper. The PD-D9J that John talks about is a phenomenal player too. A little more expensive, and hard to find. It only does CD and SACD, but from what I understand, it does those 2 VERY well!!!

    The 59 and 79 avi's are both good universal players and do very well as a straight up cdp. I have the 59 and it sounds better than it has a right to. You can find these players all day for under 200 bucks.
    The PD-D9J kicks it up a few notches, how much I dunno, never did a side by side comparison.

    If you ever get to keep the unit;

    1. Remove the board carefully.

    2. Clean the broken area of the board and use quality epoxy to glue the broken piece together.

    3. Clean the varnish of all broken runs in such a way to expose the copper runs on both sides.

    4. Using green short strap wire (not too sure of the real name) solder at each ends of the broken runs in order to repair the run.

    5. Aplly new varnish over the exposed runs ans solders to avoid potential oxidisation.

    6. Reinstall board securely and connectors.

    7. Test unit thoroughfully in order to make sure unit is fully functionnal.

    8. If any issue, come back to your OP to discuss troubleshooting otherwise, enjoy the free bee if functional! :wink: :cool:

    That is definitely the ideal situation. Keeping the broken board for parts is also a good idea.

    Mr. Sharpe, I hope you'll be able to keep this as it will be a great innexpensive project for you. :cool:

    Thank you Technokid. I appreciate good words, I really do and those are hard to come by these days.

    I hope I can keep it too, like I said, idk why this guy would want it back unless he wanted to sell it for parts. he's calling Fedex since it was broken during shipping and they might be reimbursing him for the product... I have no idea. I don't know how that works. i believe Pop has a soldering iron too:D

    It's fixable IMHO, but wonder on how it got broken in the first place, being the PCB is in the player. What shape can the player case be, if the board is damaged like that? So I wonder if it's worth the trouble in fixing it?

    the case was perfect. neither me nor the seller knew how it happened. He told me it worked fine right before he packed up for ship.

    When I was operating my repair shop such would happen quite often (however the board was not always cracked) that the main board would need to be reworked after a move or shipping of some sort (never a ding on the casing) thus the importance of proper packaging. A shock during transport can damage the board without damaging the encolsure at all.
