everyone for their input and info. I haven't had a problem
discovering the posts in the archives nor reading about the parts
list (already have both lists Mouser & Digi-Key as well as the
referenced pictures), it's just that I am as Walt put it,
electronically challenged. Not regarding firmware or anything
computer related, but actually going into the guts of the Raite and
attempting to fix it.

tinkering around inside/or with electronics parts (and principles)
to grasp these repair concepts as easily as someone that has prior
experience (little or a lot). ((Thanks James for your input as
well.))

somewhat self-explanatory but has me a bit confused. You all
mentioned that you purchased a replacement power supply. Is that
the electric power cord that plugs into the wall or is it the cord
that resembles the cord that plugs into a computer power supply that
goes into the circuit board of the Raite?? When I'm looking for
this replacement power supply should I be looking under computer
power supply? Dvd power supply? Another Raite power supply? What
terminology should I use and what types of power supply should I be
looking for exactly?

anyone else that has successfully repaired their Raite are an
electronics wiz---no joke. The soldering is exactly what I'm afraid
of. I've never had a reason to do any, so I will have to read up on
it.
>
> I'm no newbie regarding computers (I can replace anything inside
it and love to experiment with computers & computer parts), but I AM
a newbie regarding fixing electronics. So, the very act of
soldering is a giant leap for me. If it gets to be too much to
handle, I'll sell the player for parts. I've been putting it off
though, because I used the player for so long (5yrs) and I really
don't want to get rid of it. Right now, I'm using a Malata with no
problems and it plays everything (even PAL discs).
