BTW, if anyone is interested, i have an interest check on my D-25 in the Source Components section.
ack you just said the magic words that i can't do - SOLDER. you mean the jack isnt the prob - it's the connection with the PCB? i wish someone near me was handy with soldering, rats!
Hi, I have a Sony D211 and it's not working. It powers up ok and the disc spins but it cannot read the disc. I have had a look inside and the plastic ribbon that connects the circuit board to the lens assembly has broken off partly. The cost of repairing is around US $65 as according to the service personnel the entire lens assembly has to be changed. Is that true ? and is it worth it to repair this player? Has anyone here alternative suggestions for repair?

I used to have 2 D-Z555s , the European-Type of D555 ; an a D250silver ---also the European-Type D25 . but I just sold them last year~
And now i have a Technics-SL-XPS900 (Japanese & American type may call Panasonic SL-XPS900~) . i fine it great that almost batter than D250/D25 , and better than D-Z555/D555 in some way( bass , I think~) .
I also got a JVC XL-P90 (Japanse & American type may call Victor-XL-P9) but dead~~ and now I must find the Laser-Unit call SANYO-SF89.5 to repair it~~Sadly I can't find it anywhere~~
As I search the internet , I found that Japanese may like Philips's CD-player more than others~~Just like Philips-AZ-6819/6829/6808 and Apple-philips-PowerCD. But it seems difficult to find them in anywhere~
I purchased a D303 from a guy in germany who said that the pcdp played perfectly but after i got it, i realized that both the headphone and line out were quite staticky. moving the pot around didn't make a difference and after spraying it with some contact cleaner, it didn't get any better. sometimes it would play find but most of the time, the volume was inconsistent with lots of static.
after reading the previous posts from 555, i'm beginning to think that its caps have dried out or gone bad. does this sound like a problem with the caps to you guys, who have replaced bad caps? it looks like there are a total of 7 thru-hole radial caps that i'll probably have to replace. i don't know if any of the smd caps have gone bad but there's so many of them that i don't even know where to start diagnosing them. if anyone has the schematics for this board, it'd be helpful. thanks for the help!
My D-555 hasn't been used for a very long time. When the headphone jack is plugged in the right speaker is much louder than the left. When backing out the jack 1 click the left speaker is louder than the right. Backing out slightly more and the volume is so much louder with the left speaker. Almost normal but the right speaker is still lower in volume. I've read through some of the previous posts. Is this also a surface mount soldering repair, new headphone jack or possibly a contact cleaner fix?
I think it might be the "bad coupling capacitor" problem. All of the surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors were bad, some were actually leaking electrolyte.
Thanks for the responce. Excellent job on the repair of your sony. I'll try and get a schematic for the d-555 if possible. This way I can identify the location of C211 and C111. Hopefully they are close to the headphone jack area. If I can get a hold of the audio upgrade SMD caps I will. Any type of improvement is a plus. I'm not sure if I need to replace the power supply SMD but I may.
