Pioneer DEH-P8600MP common failures?

[dopefish 10+ year member]

In my quest to find what may be damaged inside my HU, I am curious, besides the all too common OEL ribbon failure, what internal failures or damage from too much amperage/voltage is known to occur in these bad boys?

Thanks,

My friend had some problems on hot days. It resulted in failure to, "detract" so you can remove the faceplate. Happened twice, but hasn't happened for a while. Not a big deal.

there were a few times (maybe 3-4) when my cd wouldn't come out when i pushed eject. but that's about it for me.

Lets see- i have the premier model (860mp) in my beater car- problems ive had with it are - been "repaired" 2 times by pioneer due to not shooting the cd's out very var (like 1/4 inch) still does that to this day, and i know alot of ppl had the preouts fail, and the ribbon cable thing.

the 860's were notorious for the ground trace problem. basically screwed up rca's that would cause static/noise.

My amp'd outputs failed -- my RCA's were fine though... until this happened.

I have the headunit disassembled on my desk now and found the large MOSFET on the back is burnt but I think that is for the amp'd outputs not the RCA's.... I'm trying to find out what else failed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Ordered a new Pioneer MOSFET today.... the one in my unit is a PAL007A, the new one they are sending is a PAL007B so I wonder if they improved upon the original at all....

It was $36.68 shipped which is a good bit but worth a shot if it'll fix it. One of the guys slipped on the phone and even said it sounds like the Output IC could be the problem.

Faceplate would refuse to fold down to be removed every now and then....few weeks later and it was permanent. Sent it in, got it fixed. Few days after and it starts acting up again. CD's don't like to eject all the way....or at all sometimes.

Got tired of it and sold the piece for cheap to a friend. Of course, no problems with it after it's been sold lol.
