Last thing we did yesterday was watch some Netflicks via instant view on the TIVOHD.
Came down for breakfast and noticed the OPPO was off, in red light mode - but - it was a bluish red color I hadn't seen before - kind of like the deep blue jewels I've seen on the tailights of some vintage cars.
Tried to power it up by hand - wouldn't change state - but I noticed it felt warm. I reached over the top so I could pull the power plug and realized it was hot - very hot right over the disc tray area. I cycled power manually - no change.
This is the player i got for about $100 as a closeout deal through WOOT July 16, 2008, and its been the only disc player in my main system, so I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of it. Of course, it didn't retail at $100 - more like $249 or so ...
Its still very sad ... I think the magic smoke has gotten away!
Power cable is unplugged, so power is off now - I suspect I need a new multidisc player -
My budget is UNDER $500 - so if I get another OPPO, that lets out the $900 SE ...
