The batteries most likely are from 2006 or 2007. I worked for Loblaw's from 2005-2008 and sold that exact brand/type of battery. I'm guessing the DVD player also dates to around 2007 as well. Energizer batteries (or Everready, same company) are better than Durasmell batteries for sure.
I stopped using a Funai Blu-ray player because it had issues with opening. I don't think it was the belt. Pushing eject just didn't seem to activate, or maybe the tray was sticking. Smacking the player seemed to work..I had the top off. I said blank it and bought a new Sony. The Funai still worked, but I got tired of fooling with the sticking tray. I may look at it again.
I had a very similar few of these DVD players in my bedroom as a kid. in the living room there was a Samsung top of the line DVD player, it had a jog/shuttle dial at the front. we ended up selling it on when we moved to blu-ray
Philips stuff that came through my shop usually had intermittent logic issues. Sometimes you twist the main board and it works fine, other times you turn it off and on a dozen times and it starts to work again. Bad solder on SOC is common too. Philips stuff looks nice and performs well, but often fail in logic forms. Nice job saving this one!
I remember only too well the Philips modular 4 TV's with the bad interconnect pins on the modules and plugs. So many intermittent faults and they had a tend to go low grid bias and eat those expensive 40kg6 and 42ec4 horizontal and damper tubes.
Yes, Duraleak are the worst batteries one can get. If a device I buy comes with Duracell batteries, I discpose of immediately. Even if they're far from being expired.
Thanks for the video. I opend a device with very similar looking curcuits and when I was not attentive for a short moment and turned it upside down, a small square brown plastic card with a circular hole in the center fell out. Does anyone have a clue what this might be, where it might belong and wether it's important? Before opnening it did not sound like it had loose parts in it and functionality seems to be good as well. I wonder wether it might be for insulation?
Interesting problem, nice to see it working again, and avoided becoming e-waste. Also, good to know about the door switch, as sometimes my United DVD player shuts the door immediatly after it has opened, so if it gets worse, now I know what to look for to fix it. Yeah, different brand, but probably there's similar kind of switch in this one as well. I guess Philips used good quality batteries for remote controllers, as I've got Philips vhs vcr from 2003, and in 2018, noticed the original batteries had expired already in 2006, but no leaks and they still worked, but I replaced them anyway to avoid potential leakage, they certainly were on borrowed time by 2018 :D I don't remember what brand they were, but they were original ones, have had this vcr from new.
Loved these Philips players. Went through several generation of them. They were different from every other brand as there was firmware easily found and readily available to "enhance" them. This rendered them to be able to play just about anything and everything. Not that I ever voided my warranty. :-)
I have the same model, except that it has a slot loader. It has the same sled problem. It will read CDs only, but will not skip to the next track. I did all sorts of experiments on it😁. Dousing the lens assembly in ipa, adjusting spindle height, lubricating the gears, adjusting the pots etc. It survived all that. But nothing changed. Maybe the motor controller is bad. I have ordered a new lens assembly from eBay. Will receive it in about a month 🤞🤞
Philips mechanisms were not their stong point, even going back long before CD's came along. The plastics and metals they used would crumble if were not very gentle with them. They were great inovators, but floundered when it came to making reliable products, this is how the Japanese were able to flood the market, until they started to make inferior products outside of Japan. At least they kept us busy repairing them.
The cheap "Muck Metal" that they used even going back to the 60's used to decay and crumble as did the plastic parts. Re their CD drives were good at tracking bad discs if setup correctly, but even on them the plastic gears used to split. The very best CD drives used linear motors, Denon made some excellent ones.@@e.j.schoute1987
Just turned it back on. Working fine. Will run it for awhile. It's mine and will be put in constant service feeding a modulator at some point. Have a few others to get going.
hello from pocklington,uk,i have the same problems when i fix a laptop,you just about to strip it down for parts and oh,it starts working like the whole pc starts to work,its as tho they know you are going to bin it,lol,good vid,take care

Be careful Pal your immune System has & is Still taking a Load of Stress , it can take a long time to get better sometimes So just don't run around after everyone for a bit. 🇬🇧

Would still make them 15 years old and working. New batteries would be leaking while still in the package.

Might need to use a little lubriplate on the tray mechanism.

I have this 3560 , but the tray doesn't open. Took it apart but can't see the problem. Looks like the mechanisms are out of sink.

Theu did invent music cassettes, and the CD , DVD format
Thats great that those batteries are still good and not leaked everywhere.
Phillips will give you a Strong rebuff for calling their Products Cheap, Sir. 😂 MJ. In B'dos.
What camera do you use? i love the nightshot mode

You mean like the 20.00 Chinese specials?

3m motor oil won't hurt the plastic slider?
Metal sleeve.
Philips had a lot of strange problems.
So did Sony . With there great kss laser system..
My Guess is a bad solder joint in the main board !
I was expecting that driver chip to be dodgy, well it could still have .
Pity you haven't got a good one.
Where's the Neutrol? The Old can that has the banned refrigerant.
Nutrol
The can I have has freon tf as the solvent. The new stuff uses alcohol. No it's not as good as the old stuff you can't buy anymore.
Amazed that the old batteries still work ,,and not leak acid in the remote sender !!!😮
Well there is no acid in those batteries as they are alkaline cells so potassium hydroxide is what they contain
Dontcha hate when that happens? One minute it doesn't work, you unplug something and it starts working for like, no reason...
Gummed up traverse rail. It didn't feel sticky but was enough to stall the motor.
3:40 Wait, there are Phillips fans?
Its a dutch company, well philips made electronics back in the 90s Eindhoven The Netherlands
They might have been a Dutch company but all the old TV's and console stereos sold in Canada were made in Canada.
I thought I remember you saying The Philips cd880 was one of the best cdplayers ever made ? Which I definitely agree.
It used the tda1541 dac which had a unique sound.
Philips mechanisms were not their stong point, even going back long before
CD's came along.

I would have guessed a dead spot in the motor. Suspect fault will return if left off for a few says but good one!
Just turned it back on. Working fine. Will run it for awhile. It's mine and will be put in constant service feeding a modulator at some point. Have a few others to get going.
Nobody can make working electronics with so cheap components than Philips.
Do ya think maybe the motor has a bad spot in the windings? Oh no that's right you ran it with power and it went back and forwards! Hmm strange!
Something was sticking mechanically
No problem@@12voltvids

You're lucky there weren't Duracell (aka Duraleak) batteries inside the remote. The remote control PCB would've been eaten away by now...
Especially the new ones.

Back to work for me in the AM. This is the most i have been off in 18 years. Going absolutely stir crazy here.

Looks like a LG drive
🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Philips are notarius whith bad soldering !!
Gummed up mechanism.
