My idea would be to fix it so it has a signal again.

Two nights ago my VCR refused to play a tape;
the tape was already in, and had been recorded
on timer. The display showed 80 minutes
of recording.

On pressing "play", the head whirred up for
around 20 seconds, an then the VCR when into
"standby" mode.

A little experimentation revealed that this is what
happened regardless of key presses.

In particular, eject didn't work :-(

I removed the case, and noticed that a cam-cog, driven
by a worm gear, appeared to be jamming in some way.

A hefty prod with a finger managed to get it
to travel "fully", and I managed to eject the tape.

Trying to load a (old, unwanted...) tape was futile,
with loading failing with the same jam of the cam-cog,
sometimes accompanied by clicking noises that sounded
like a cog slipping a tooth. The cassette case loaded OK,
and the tape threds over the head OK, but "something"
that the cam-cog does ... doesn't.

The local TV shop has quoted a MINIMUM repair fee of 100 quid,
and VCR's aren't really available on the market right now.

In a bid to save money, and defer the inevitable
(eventual) purchase of a HDD/DVD or PVR box,
I would like to try to get my VCR going again.

It's a five year old Panasonic NV-HS830B, and I've put a wide shot
of the internals, and a close up of the "cam-cog" here:

It's a FLV video. You can use VLC to play it, or virtualdub to convert
it to avi.

[Sorry for the repost, but I just noticed that sci.electronics.repair
is not in the groupline - I've taken the liberty of adding it.]

We got some problems with HP/Agilent 4194A Impedance/gain-phase
analyzer.

It get stuck when the equipment starts up.
The error message shows "CPU_A RAM R/W error. 40000H".

Please advice us how to fix the problem. Is there any third party
repairing these instrument? We have called Agilent, it is sad to know
that they have stopped support for this instrument since 2005.

I work as a tech for a company that salvages and repairs test equipment:
https://www.techrecovery.com/
We don't normally do repairs for third parties, though...

We have called Agilent, it is sad to know
that they have stopped support for this instrument since 2005.

I haven't worked on this particular piece of equipment (yet) but start
with the service manual:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/redirector.jspx?action=ref&cname=AGILENT_EDITORIAL&ckey=818491&lc=eng&cc=US&nfr=-536902489.536879058
If that link doesn't work go here and navigate to the manuals section:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/home.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&cmpid=4533

This would be a tough one, as the schematic of the A6 and A7 boards is
unreadable (Why did they even bother?) There appears to be two banks of
DRAM on each board, each bank is 256KB. Given this, it appears that the
upper bank of memory is defective on either the A6 or A7 board. Start by
probing the WE, RAS and CAS lines on each bank of A6 and A7. If they
appear OK, look at each DRAM's data line for a bit that may appear to be
tied or faulty. If you had a signature analyzer, that would be a plus!

Very nice. It'd be a shame to bomb the hell out of them, but if Bush
decides to do it there is no way to stop him.


It would be a shame to bring down the Towers too - but it didn't stop
the people from doing it.

I'm not so sure I am all in for doing Iran - yet. If they become a
"real" <imminent> threat - then go for it. I've heard varying reports
- some suggesting they won't be "nuclear" ready for a good 10 years
or so. I don't agree with bombing the shit out of someone "just
because". IF they fuck with us - then HELL YEAH - blow them to hell
and back - I'm all for that. At the rate we're going - it may take us
10 years to rebuild our military. I'm damned surprised they've not
instituted the Draft - yet. We can not afford another war - to be so
trigger happy.. Maybe they know this and are pushing the buttons. A
Draft would "certainly" have to be started - and "better" planning to
get in and get out. We can't afford another "mistake". Going into
Afghanistan, we pretty much had the world on our side. Going into
Iraq, was not in our best interest amd did us a lot of damage.
It might have been better to have kept Saddam Hussein around. We
might not have the mess we do now - and "he" kept Iran in a corner.
WE supported "him" the last time Iran - reared their head. At least
it would have been "his" people engaged - more so than our own.

Iran are not a threat, and will never be a threat, to America.
Do you think they are complete fools? Don't you think that
they know their country would be turned into a smoking crater
if they make any agressive moves? The frightening thing is,
Bush and his psychopathic friends know this also. So another
mass murder looms, another pack of ridiculous lies, more
flimsy "evidence". The problem is, there are all to many fools
who are taken in, and have never heard the saying "Fool me twice"

First off, not that I "believe" all I hear/read regarding war like
propoganda, "but" - if the other bunch of camel sucking ass holes tried what
they did - Iran "could" as well. NO ONE is exempt from creating
war/violence. Maybe they won't win - but it sure hasn't kept many from
trying. So - as to Iran - "never say never". "I" am saying - so long as they
"aren't" - I don't see a need to deal with them and take on more than we
already have. "I" don't agree with Bush - but I also don't rule out "NUTS"
either.

As long as there are weapons - "any" one is capable of trying to incite a
war. It doesn't matter who they are.

No - I don't think the American people are getting sucked in quite so quick
as you might think. They're still reeling over Iraq and the way things have
gone. The "last" thing most want to see - is "another" war - when we've not
gotten out of the two holes we've already dug.

Can't think of anything that you seem to be overlooking. First place I would

have gone is the same as you - to the door switch. Even though the switch is
working ok in itself, I would still feel inclined to make sure that its
connections are making it all the way back to the micro, and doing something
ie pulling a pin to ground or whatever. I've had internal pull-up resistors
on micro pins fail. The only other thing that it's worth doing when all else
has failed, and you've given up, is to try a possible 'real' system reset,
by holding in the power button and applying power, and if that fails, a
'naughty' engineer's reset, by turning off and removing power, then hooking
a croc lead to ground, and stroking round every pin of every 'micro-ish' IC
both on the front panel, and the CD process board. I've known this to
restore screwed up system controls on a number of occasions. I got it
originally from a manufacturer's training course, but so far back in the dim
mists of time, I can't remember which one now ...
