Sony BDP-S3500 Port Board Replacement

Introduction

This is a brief guide to demonstrate how to replace the port board in the Sony BDP-S3500. The port board consists of a USB port, power, and eject buttons with an IR sensor. Usually, the power and eject buttons malfunction.

If the USB port contains dust, then it might not work properly. Please clean it using an air blower.

If you think the IR sensor is not working, please check that the remote is completely working and that there is no obstruction blocking the sensor on either the remote or the Blu-ray player.

Please be gentle during the process as some parts are delicate to handle.

Before using this guide, make sure to review the troubleshooting page.
