my Oppo BDP-103 just came back from Oppo and they will not fix it, instead they want to remove the mainboard and replace with another, on the basis that we don't really want to figure out the problem and it is easier for us to charge you £200 to replace the mainboard, and by the way "we are getting out of the AV market and no longer will be producing BluRay Players" , thank you very much Oppo, you can bloody well feck off then :-(
so before I upgrade my 103 with some of these great mods that Gaz has done, can anyone suggest a good person who could have a look at my 103 and hopefully fix it, it might be getting too hot and shutting down, it all works fine except that 20 mins into a DVD or Blu Ray it stops, freezes, and I have to reboot to carry on, so that is why I sent it back to Oppo to fix, but it is out of warranty and the dealer I bought it from 5 years ago is useless
Worth 200 to get fixed imo. Most of these faults are a nightmare to find unless it's a usual. Changing boards is a usual reaction for a fault like this I'm afraid
Hi Peter,
must be frustrating!
One thing thats maybe worth having a look at (assuming its an overheating issue?) is that the heatsink on the main board (lhs from the back) hasnt somehow dislodged, or lost its ‘clamp’ on the chip it sits on?

If that looks ok and its a cap failing or somesuch then I’d agree with Grant...its worth paying to get it fixed.
Its a real ballache tracking down whats failing and I wouldnt even go there.
My Oppomod stabiliser is not all it should be.
This one ADDED a serious amount of noise and vibration and I’ve had to modify the spinner by removing one of the three pads to make it centre over the disc consistently.
Because of this I’m not convinced it’s any better than the original equipment it replaced. £130 down the drain as far as I’m concerned and not one I’d recommend.
Getgaff, do you have the 103D ( specifically that model Darbee ) ??
Thanks guys, I’ve reached out to him for help.
