Hi Parasuraman.
You can use automotive degreaser to remove heatsink paste. I discovered this after trying it on a Pc cpu.
It literally dissolves to a liquid an just wipe away.

Good observation. It indeed has a cooling fan, and it was found working very well when hot! Many thanks!

I beg that I may not be misunderstood for my mistaken view. The DVD player has a sound amplifier working in a confined environment and without a fan, at least, so do the pictures show, or do not show. Do I need to think very hard to know what probably may have caused the amplifier to throw in the towel, unless stated otherwise ? Most of the DVD players without audio amplifiers that I used to see consumed a paltry <10 watts, so a general 80 watts consumer for a DVD player with an audio amplifier definitely makes the additional audio amplifier in this particular case responsible for the extra watts supply. For such a high power consumer that likely produces much heat, its a big mistake that its denied the natural right to breath air in and out adequately as a necessity and a general rule for that matter, for proper functionality. When its pushed to the wall, complaints of being denied its rights will, take it from me, wake up sleeping dogs in some quaters and the DVD will certainly come to a grinding halt.
