I had a problem once with this player. One channel of the DAC chip was fried!!! I checked everything and I was certain it was the chip itself. Somehow I killed one channel replacing caps. Replaced it and was fine. I'm not saying thats your issue but I not saying its not lol
@dj_holmes yeah it could be, too bad the chip is unobtainium from what I see. I just went lazy and said checking every component is too much work, so I just changed my external DAC to a one with digital inputs and I'll use the player as a transport
Ai ai ai. The acting-before-thinking and I-just-do-something methods are alive and kicking.
Suggestion is to adopt the thinking-before-acting method as it has a higher succes rate. It starts with checking pinouts of parts.

@jean-paul yeah It was dumb, I tend to be impulsive like that, always costs me a bunch, learning that the wall is hard by banging your head on it is not optimal I know
Honesty is a virtue. You will manage like most here. Just change the method as the feeling of succes is nicer.
@dj_holmes i didn't check the diodes, I abandoned the project until now because I thought I'd just replace my dac with one that has an optical input, but it turned out that the player doesn't output digital as well, the optical diode turns on with the player, so the dac detects a connection, but then when play is pressed, the diode turns off and connection is dropped, same with coax, so I guess back to the board it is
