VCR in a conversion van, will accept and eject cassette but will not
PLAY, REV, FF. It has a red LED labelled DEW that is blinking. I can not
for the life of me figure out what DEW means.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
John

There's a moisture sensor in there. The unit won't power up if it thinks
there's too much moisture inside the unit.
They _do_ go bad, on occasion.

Thanks Roy, I was trying to think of what DEW meant, my wife said
"Doesn't ever work".

Thanks again
