Basically, the heat sink is no longer in good thermal contact with the two integrated circuits (ICs). There must be a startup test that the DVD runs on the ICs to make sure sufficient heat is being drawn away or maybe a circuit is closed - anyway, this solution worked by adding some thermal grease ($2.99 M.G. Chemicals Silicone Heat Transfer Compound).
- Remove the DVD cover - 7 screws total.
- Then facing the DVD from the front, you'll see a green circuit to your right. On top and covering the board is a metal bracket that is the heat sink. Try pressing down on the metal bracket and turning the power on. If that works, then you know it's a loose connection. If not, then this solution probably won't work for you.
- You will need to remove the board by removing 5 screws. There are several ribbon cables attached to the board but you don't have to remove them.
- Underneath the board there is one screw holding the metal bracket to the board. As soon as you remove that, you will see two rubber-type pads (one large and one small) that seem slightly sticky that will either stick to the metal bracket or to the two ICs beneath.
- Just apply the grease to both sides, smoothing it with an old credit card or thick paper and replace everything.
