| jaugustine@verizon.net: Jun 10 08:23AM -0400 Hi, FYI, because of the replies I have received so far, I want everyone to know that I use to repair TVs, VCRs, stereos, etc. I do NOT have the SM for this VCR, and I have never serviced a VCR (serviced many) with this issue. John |

Not one group member here can read minds.... |

I can read his mind easily, insanity for trying to fix a 30+ year old, low or mid range VHS machine that can be replaced with a $10~$20 one from the nearest Salvation Army or Goodwill retail store. Probably will be 25 years newer too. However I do have a suggestion... Take it apart and examine the clock board/front panel circuit boards and see if you can spot something like a cmos battery like you would find on a computer motherboard. Small (quarter sized but thicker) and probably wrapped in plastic. It's not a battery but a supercap of sorts (like .5F, half a farad). I think (but not sure) those had somewhat of a battery back up for the clock where if the machine lost power for a while, the clock wouldn't return with the 12:00 blinking but the correct time instead. I'd guess if that thing is dead or otherwise shot, it could cause the timer to malfunction. Who knows, maybe the timer relies on it so it, like the clock, doesn't get reintialized on power loss. Dead power source, dead timer. -bruce bje@ripco.com |
