Can Anyone Recommend a Repair Shop in NJ to Fix a Pioneer Elite Blu Ray Player?


My good audiophile friend has a Pioneer Elite Blu Ray player, model BDP-85FD. The power button lights up but nothing else works on the player - display is blank and no other buttons on the player or remote cause the unit to operate.

Can anyone recommend a person or shop in New Jersey or neighboring NY, PA, etc. states that can possibly fix this player? 

Thank you for whatever help and / or insight anyone can provide.

jafant - because I'm finishing a continuous divorce and in the middle of moving, it might be a while. If / when I do go, I'll certainly share my experiences here :-)

Excellent. Let me know about your trip to Vu Jade Audio.

 

Happy Listening!

jafant - after checking with my friend, he purchased a well reviewed Chinese transport rather then getting the Pioneer player repaired.

I still would like to visit the facility to check out their stuff. There seems to be some good things happening there that I'd like to see and hear for myself!

If / when that happens, I will let you know.

Best regards, TJF

Thank you for the follow up. Yes, keep me posted as that is a great Player in many ways. Shameful to allow it non-operational.

 

Happy Listening!

jafant - unfortunately this seems to be a low priority to my friend. He's gotten new speakers and an all in one streamer / integrated amplifier that he's very pleased with. His system sounds great!

I believe he'll eventually return to spinning disks, if you periodically reach out to me - I'll let you know the status and outcome of the repair.

Kindest regards, TJF

Thank You for the follow up. I am excited to read about the repair process and Operation involved.

Good Morning Jafant,

Thanks for the follow up, I'll email my friend with the player to keep him in the loop.

I'm actually in the thick of clearing my house to sell it as part of my divorce. We've been boxing, discarding and making donation piles for what seems like forever. Once the clearing is completed, the painters will come.

Once this is done, I hope to return to a routine schedule. 

Will let you know how the repair goes.

Most sincerely

Where are you guys in the repair process? An update would be great!

 

Happy Listening!

Excellent! Thank You for the follow up. I am looking forward to your next update after moving. Safe travels.

Didn't get to address this yet as I'm in the process of moving. My friend (who's owns the player) isn't in a rush but we'd like to visit a local facility this month. I'll certainly post our experience.

Thanks again, very much appreciated :-)

tjassoc

My pleasure. Which repair center did you select?

 

Happy Listening!

Will do and thanks for the referral. Friends and I are looking forward to visiting and listening to their equipment :-)

tjassoc

Thank You for the follow up. Keep me posted here or PM.

 

Happy Listening!

Thank you everyone for your help and recommendations. I've sent out emails requesting service and will let you know the results :-)

One more- Vu Jade Audio, Montville NJ (973.487.6619) ask for Peter.

Could be something fundamentally simple

Any computer repair shop could find what is wrong, then have them fix it, order a part have them fix it, or send it to a specialist.

service manual is available on hifiengine.com

btw, the lasers do get weak, the ability to find the SACD layer an early sign. If yours has had a lot of use, even though sounds wonderful, consider than relative to repair cost.

when I chose my vintage Sony xa5400es I checked, found replacement laser assemblies were still available

 

I don’t see any parts listed for yours on hifishark at this time.
