I've just hooked out our old Pioneer DV-606D player out of 'storage' to use it at work (and to get rid of it out of the house!) and powering it up I get nothing but 'FLASH SUM' flashing in the display.
It was working OK when decomissioned and hasn't been powered up since, which I guess is close to a year.
Google brings up some hits on this but no solutions that I can see. Is it dead? Is it worth eBaying (or selling here) if so?

Jon - you imply it was ok when it went into storage.
Could it be an internal battery needs replacing?
This could be of the rechargeable type, that do have a finite lifespan.
I've just 'Googled' FLASH SUM and it seems to be a problem with Pioneer players. I found quite a few posts on various forums highlighting the problem but not many replies I'm afraid. In fact, no one came back to say they'd been successful. Bearing that in mind, here are two that may or may not work:
- Have you tried cold starting it; disconnect it completely from the mains for ~10 mins, then reconnect and try again.
- It is probably a problem with the EPROM or the CPU. You could try resetting the software by holding in the STOP button while turning on the power to the unit. If that doesn't work it sounds like the EPROM is corrupt or the CPU is bad.
(These are other people's replies, not mine.)
HTH?
