Pioneer XV BD212 BCS212 Problem

[@WilfredDittmer]

I have a PIONEER BCS-HF818 and have the same problem. I used the service manual in the comment here. I was able to get EEPROM INITIAL to work (FRONT Stop, RMC '0' for 5 secs). Then tray open worked again and it is responsive to remote and buttons again. Thanks for the service manual link!

Might be a bit old now but based on some research, I have a LG LHB336 which was shutting down after a few seconds of being turned on, just said "good bye" , some videos on KZbin suggested there was a short in the amplifier board output ic's, however in my case for the brief period it was on the sound on all outputs were clear, speakers tested fine no shorts and all voltages on mainboard, amp board and power supply board were to spec based on my service manual. What I did notice on my model was the dvd tray would not eject but a flashing red dot on the display for every command indicated a command was being received. I discovered if I kept tapping the eject button for eg. 30 seconds, the system would no longer shutdown/good bye, as if it was now tricked or confused and not the behavior of a fault protection circuit. Well turns out the tray eject motor functions are part of the main control chip and that would explain the 'confused behavior' A lot of these unknown issues were found in many LG models and pioneer models which share the same circuit boards made by LG. The main control chip Broadcom BCM7633 is a bga chip (I can't say if all affected models shared the same chip) however it turns out due to a design flaw, the chip was fitted with a ridiculously small/thin black heat sink, to small to keep the chip cool enough in conjunction with a heat pad instead of thermal paste, thermal stresses during the heat cool cycles and for all we know poor soldering process causes the tiny solder beads connecting chip to board, to break over time creating a cold joint if you will. My best guest the type of error once you have ruled out a shortage or voltages fault, comes down to firmware and/or which solder beads have the cold joint which may determine the failure. Solution it to reflow this chip. If this solution works for your fault then the next step is to immediately upgrade to a better heatsink with cooling fan and good thermal paste. I fear heatsink alone will eventually get too warm and recreate the cold joints. Shame on those greedy manufacturers for just discontinuing the models and no information of the fix for the many owners. I'll post some links to the credit of others who discovery and fixed their faults. forum.donanimhaber.com/lg-bluray-cihazlarda-please-wait-sorunu-cozumu--74386607-5 www.commentreparer.com/37411/Home-Cinema/Home-Cinema-Pioneer-BCS-717-s-allume-et-s-eteint?page=3

I fixed the same problem of my Pioneer XV-BD212 according to your advice. thanks a lot.

@@thomc3709 Happy that this helped someone. Mine is still going strong. These are good players, sound great and very beautiful to look at, better looking than many brands.

I used this info to fix my Pioneer XV-BD717W. It also has the BCM7633 with a very cheap looking heat sink. The symptom was that I would get a LDR ... NG message after the player had been on for a minute, and the disc drawer would not open. Now it works perfectly, thanks.

@@justinboak3470 Glad it helped 👍🏼

Hoi Dries, geen idee, bij mij hetzelfde probleem. alleen dan al na ca 30 sec. zonder NG. Al een oplossing gevonden?

[@pedromarod]

i have the same problem and no solution. No Blu-ray used for about one year. keep us informed about possible solutions. Thanks

How to get new motherboard for xv-bd717w waste off 300 euros, shit pioneer.

[@mohammedumar8422]

Has any one found a solution to this problem ?

[@HZON1973]

Hier ook hetzelfde probleem nu als op het filmpje. Jammer want het was een goed toestel.

[@dries86]

ja ik heb hem naar containerpark gebracht. zonde. Heb al vele jaren nu een Yamaha en geen problemen

[@HZON1973]

@drie

[@HZON1973]

Welk model ? Jammer van de boxen want die zijn nog goed.

[@dries86]

@@HZON1973 Pioneer boxen waren goed en heb ik verkocht en dan de Yamaha YHT 1810 (5.1 set met boxen inbegrepen) gekocht vr 245€ destijds (2016). werkt nog steeds perfect, maar ik vermoed dat er nu wel een nieuw model zal zijn😀

here is the service manual to find some hidden menus: www.scribd.com/document/313238104/Pioneer-XV-BD212-pdf My device can't find the loader

[@dries86]

Contacted Pioneer support, they told me the display is broken and tried to send me to a Pioneer service center to even charge money to fix their crap. Shame on you Pioneer !!

[@dries86]

BTW: I 've got rid of my Pioneer Home Cinema and now have a Yamaha YHT 1810 for 300 € and so far very happy.
