Oppo BDP-105, burned/leaky main caps, damage to the board?

Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I have a Oppo BDP-105 that I bought second hand back in 2016, I left it on pretty much 90% of the time since 2016 ( 7 years ) . I mainly used it as a DAC , I only spun disc once in a while. Recently I started to notice that the front panel display was more faded than usual, also, at times when I play a disc the player freezes. I decided to open it up to inspect and noticed that there were 3 caps that look like they have leaked. Also, there is a brown colour on the board and on some of the soldering. I'm no electronics expert when it comes to these things but I've contacted Oppo and they haven't been able to give me much info other than telling me to send it in. I paid the service fee and will be sending it in this week. Seeing how I am from Canada , it will cost me around $350-$400 canadian dollars after service fee and shipping.

This brings me to my question, is this the kind of repair that Oppo can do? I mean, if the board is damaged, are they able to simply swap the analog board for a new one? Just trying to see if it is even worth for me to send it in given the damage.... What can you guys make of the pictures attached? Thanks!

The issue of low brightness on the front panel display, it can most likely be caused by the power supply of the display itself (located inside the front panel). To reach to that power supply it may not be very easy... What you see around the big caps on stereo board is not leaking of the caps electrolyte, but is only glue used by Oppo to immobilise in place that caps. Due to the age of the device, that glue have somehow modified its appearance and it give the impression of a previous leaked liquid. Not the case. The other places you marked on pictures, as suspecting is a kind of leaked substances (near regulators), is only residues of the soldering paste, which maybe it was not well cleaned in production process. However, the stereo board and its power supplies are very far from a possible cause of the front panel malfunction. Not even the main power supply (board) it may have something to do with that issue, if the device it function well either.
I have not read all the posts in your thread, but only the first post. So I may not know so much about other details...
Replacement of the stereo board is not necessary and do not affect the cause of the front panel display issue.
 
Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I have a Oppo BDP-105D that I bought second hand very recently, its physical condition seems to be unused, the player connected to my AVR, worked well about 5 minutes initially and went to standby mode, tried many times to switch it on after power recycling but failed to on. After 1 hour tried again and this time it worked well for an hour with cd play. Next day morning my power amp RCA cables connected to 105D stereo RCA out , HDMI cable connected to my AVR and switched on and again it went to standby mode. Tried to switch it on when all the cables disconnected but no change. What would be the problem? I couldn't find a service center here in India.
Thank you.
 
Well, the causes of such issue it could be quite many. One may be a degradation of the power quality provided by the power supply. Another cause may be a disruption in the device firmware. Also a malfunction of the main processor it could be a cause. A fault in power management or a disfunction of one or more of the small power supplies for main processor, it could cause the device to fail the start up sequence. When you may get it up again try to check if the power settings (Menu- Device settings) are not set on something else, than only Energy Saving. Also, when the device it do the start up, and you get the home menu on display, go then to Menu - Device settings, and do a Factory reset.
I will suggest you let the player stay for a while without being connected to outlet, then connect it and power it on. Check first (if it start up successfully) if the power settings are set on Energy Saving. If not, then set it so, and if you are lucky, this it may solve the problem. If not, then it may be a hardware problem.
 
I had the same issue with my Oppo 105D I purchased recently. The player stays at standby and only red light on the power button, nothing else.

I found the issue and I managed to fix it.

Check the main power board.
I attached few pictures.
There are 3 capacitors what needs replacing.
2x 2200uF and 1x 470uF. I used 24v of the 2200uF to give longer life and I used the same voltage for the 470uF.
I bought Panasonic on eBay which cost me only like £7-8 in UK.
I replaced them on their arrival and it works absolutely perfect.

Mine was definitely looking worse than yours especially for the two 2200 uF ones. I would recommend you to remove them and check how good they are before you buy any other. This is what I have done and I noticed that they are dead.
 
Change them anyway, Keltron will be a good and reliable replacement, quite cheap, about 20 Rupees each, insurance against future failures.
Or like he says, Japanese are always good.

Sometimes good looking caps are erratic, and they drive you nuts trying to find the fault.
