I have a sony dat recorder dtc1000es that shows no life at all when
switched on but all the power supply voltages read ok. There is
nothing on the display and the eject button does nothing. In response
to a tip on the euras database i changed all the 10uF caps on the drum
pcb but still nothing. Have checked that all the boards seem to be
getting power (the psu voltages are only marked on the psu board). Am
a bit mystified - could this be a dew sensor problem? - no sign of and
obvious dew sensor. Any help would be appreciated - thanks.


Is there a tape inside and its gone into protect mode?
