LG DVD 3000 FAULT

Unless you have looked at the units, it IS a theory! Not that you would know what one is anyway.

Sure, they want the money.

The easiest fix MAY be to add a fan, but how hard is it to check exactly where the excess heat is coming from and why?

Phil is a posturing clueless idiot and posting idiotic crap - since he totally lacks any brains.

So a dead VBE multiplier should be replaced by a fan :-) Good one Phil!

But it would take a full septic tank to replace Phil, dead or alive.

I would agree with Phil on trying the fan in this situation, and have a strong feeling that this is very likely to solve the OP's problems. computer fans are very cheap now - so its not much of a risk to try.

VCD, and now DVD processor ICS in my opinion run WAY too hot for comfort, and I cant recall many that had ANY heatsinking on them.

Have seen too many problems (especially intermittents that are hard to trace) in the past caused by heat. Lowering their temperature lowered faults dramatically.

The device may be running within spec when in the design labs "average room temperature" test, (ie: ideal conditions), but put the thing in the average consumers closed tv cabinet along with other gear, and/or in a home without air conditioning in summer - and the device soon is running over spec - and faults are happening

Bean counters certainly don't help in these situations, and with many of these "ultra cheap supermarket" consumer electronics, I would imagine trimming costs even by the .001 cent where it can be done would be vital to profitabilty :(

Another problem could easily occur over time as dust slowly blocks or restricts the units air ventilation slots, or even accumulates on the IC itself as well - creating an insulation layer that makes proper ventilation impossible. in hotter parts of Australia in summer - it would only multiply the problems

-------------

if possible, proper heatsinking is preferred rather than a fan - but in many cases like PC processors that develop huge amounts of heat (or other devices with multiple heat sources scattered over a PCB) it isn't always practical, and many times more of a pain to fit into a product after it has been designed and built

In that case DSE's ramsinks ($14 for a pack of 8) should get you out of trouble. Be aware that these RAMs may have their own onboard regulator, so you might want to check that as well.

doesn't work. firstly, he's posting with reference to what is probably his isp's (tpg) email address, but is not using his isps' news server. So you direct abuse at the news provider (individual.net) he is using, but they basically suggest "contact the abusive person directly", or bugger off.

because

The Fault, apparently was that somebody was selling LG products. Next time, don't wait for some crazy Yank to be telling you the obvious ;-)

I could agree with some of that and I guess that's why there aren't many LG products in US Wal-Marts.

This is too cheap for them.
