Sony BDP-s7200 Motherboard Replacement

Introduction

If any of the ports on the back of your blu-ray player are broken, or not working, you may need to replace the motherboard entirely, as that is what they are connected to.

The motherboard is the brains of the blu-ray player, and without it, the blu-ray player won’t be able to do anything. It also connects together many of the other components of the device, which can lead to it often being the place where an issue occurs. However, it is still possible that the error could be due to something other than the motherboard. We recommend reviewing the troubleshooting guide for this device beforehand, just to confirm that it is the motherboard.

This guide will demonstrate how quick and easy it is to replace the motherboard.
