The unit doesn't have power. I found two diodes (in parallel) on the power supply board seem got burnt (burn mark on the PCB). Took the diodes off the board, one is dead (zero resistance). The other one seems to work. I replaced the dead one with a light emitting diode (that's the one have handy, ok :-)). Plug the unit in and it has power to show display on panel and disc tray works. I put a disc in and closed the tray, after spinning for a few seconds, the other diods (not the one I put in) over heat and burnt (smoke). The PCB close to the diodes is a kind of separated from the board, looks like from overheating.
One other thing. The largest capacitor has some whitish stuff sticks to it (it is dry though). I wonder if it came from the capacitor, or it was put there on purpose. The cap of the capacitor looks flat and good.
I don't have much electronics repair experiences and hope to get some guidance here. What should I look for? How to test if the capacitor is good or bad (I only have a multimeter).
Thanks a lot in advance!
