A friend asked me if I could fix this thing... I said not likeley, but I'd
give it a shot.
The problem is in the DVD portion, not the vcr.
If you put a Disc in, CD or DVD ( tried both), display shows "load" it spins
up, the lense mechanics try to focus and what not, spins down, and repeats
this maybe 5 times or so, then gives up, and finally displays "-----" on
it's internal display. IF you don't put a disc in, but still eject the tray
and close it back, it very quickly displays "-----". This makes me think
that the laser is at least working.
She did not tell me if it was a gradual problem, or if one time it just
suddenly did not work, with no warning sings. I tried to clean the lense,
other than that, I don't know much else to do. IT looked pretty clean
inside actually.
My hunch is, some component failed that is virtually impossible for me to
find without some sort of diagnostic equipment, or by replacing parts one by
one untill it works again.
Any Ideas on this?
Thanks in advance.
