Hi.
I drew up the SMPS schematic from a Terratec DVD player, but I've found these 
"stand-alone" SMPS in more than one cheap DVD player (mostly these have a 
"computer-like" DVD player unit, one with a standard SCSI cable and the typical 
PC power supply cable).
You can find this schematic at 
http://users.pandora.be/vanslycken/dvdvoeding.bmp - it's about 200k.  I hope 
it's a bit legible.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS UNIT is that it tries to start over and over again, a 
couple of caps on the secondary were blewn and there was a bad contact on a 
diode on the primary side (indicated with a (*) on the schematic).  I suspect 
the problem is on the primary, I've tried taking out the +5V line diode, and it 
still does the same.  It's in some kind of "burst mode", tries to start up with 
1 second intervals.
The +310V on the primary side capacitor is good too, and I measured every diode 
for shorts or opens, but they all seem OK.  I'm out of ideas...
I haven't been working on this kind of stuff without a service manual very 
long, so I'd appreciate any help.
kind regards,
