Sony DVP-S560D Problems : "No Disc"

[SAPSEC]

My dvd sony dvp-s560p stopped working after 2 years. It can't read any dvd. When inserting dvd it says "no disc". Having researched online I found out many complaints from users regarding the dead fuse F402.

How can sony can build their products with hidden defect like this ? Do you know how to fix this problem ? Should I throw it away and buy another one like Yamaha S-1500 ? Thanks

I don't know if I would call it a hidden defect, the player has lasted 2 years.

If you are looking for a new player, take a look at this one: http://www.oppodigital.com

There is a review of the Yamaha, with comments on the Oppo here:
