Yamaha dvd-s1500 need to find a part!!!

[rsbonini]

i have the above mentioned player, and really, really enjoy it. unfortunately i was out of the country for some time and lent it to a friend. getting it back the component video output no longer works.

blank screen on the tv, states "no signal". so i opened it up, signal traced it, and replaced the output video buffers.

now on the tv i can see a slightly darker region of black where the display is supposed to be, and the tv seems to acknowledge signal from the player now, and i can trace signal being sent from the buffers. obviously not a useful one.

i assume the video dac must be shot as well (maybe an esd fried the analogue video section?) but i can't seem to source one to replace the blown one with.

the dac is an Analog Devices ADV7300

if there is anyone that can tell me where i can purchase this part and save my beloved player, i would greatly appreciate it!!!

(p.s. called yamaha service, a new component output board would cost ~$350. the same price as buying this player new on ebay.)
