Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
DVP642 "NO DISK" fix
I owned DVP642 for less than a year and suddenly it stopped reading disks (\\"NO CD\\" message). That happened after the player presumably overheated when operating under the hot sat receiver. I opened its case, spread some flux over all chips I could find on the decoder board (it's placed between CD reader and power supply board) and used a butane soldering iron till the solder melted. Now the unit works flawlessly. I guess many problems other than \\"no disk\\" could be cured with this method. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with Philips DVP642.
