Check for shorted electolytics on the main board towards the back. I think they
were 47mfd caps. one or two are shorted making them easy to find.

On the mainboard, which is located on the right side of the chassis, replace
capacitors c927, c928, and c929. They are located in close proximity to the
A/V output jacks and the power supply connection, which are at the upper left
corner. Fortunately, the caps are not surface mounted pieces of crap.

The old capacitors used in the player are rated at 100 microfarads at 16 volts
and are polarised. Go with capacitors that are rated at 100 microfarads at 25
volts or higher, also polarised. Radioshack sells 100 microfarad 35 volt
capacitors if you don't have a source for the required caps and/or need these
caps in a hurry and don't care about price (Radioshack is expensive: each cap
sells for about $1 a pop). When installing the new capacitors, observe correct
polarity to prevent violent failure of the newly installed capacitors.

Be careful when desoldering the old caps. The board is multi-layered and can
easily be damaged due to careless soldering.

The voltage ratings on a capacitor indicates tolerance, so typically the higher
the voltage, the cooler the capacitor may run.

This is a common problem with Toshiba DVD players, particularly the SD-1700 and
the SD-2700. - Reinhart
