CD Player Repair Advice

Hi there. This model is 30 ish years old. Sony CDP-CX355. I replaced the drive belts due to age and fired it back up and got a clicking noise out of the power relay. I replaced it cheaply. Same clicking. I don't wish to pay anyone. I thought I was so close! Let me know your ideas. The power won't come on.

Recycle. Not fixable and new would be cheaper anyway.

You will want the service manual to tackle this. Link is below for electrotanya. The power supply board and circuit diagram are on page 44. The lower potion of the schematic is the relay circuit. I would start by checking Q930, the diodes and capacitors on that circuit board, but note that the circuit also connects to the main board so the repair may not be trivial if the problem is not isolated to the power board.

That was the site that gave me the worst hack I have ever had. Keep away is my advice.

I've been listening to mine all morning. Anymore it's like all the gear I use keeps showing up in threads about broke gear.

I feel like that kid on The Simpsons that says I'm in danger.
