Sony TC-WR520 ~ Transports are locked up

Hello,

Hope you are all doing well. I have a Sony cassette player that now
always has the transports engaged, not a mechanical problem though. It
is one of those dual players that can play two cassettes in sequence,
so both transports are locked up. When you turn it on it will lock up
in sequence. It worked once! I think it might be a fuse but I'm a
N00b. TIA.

The problem could be caused by slipping or worn belts that are not
permitting the cams in each deck to rotate and cycle completely.

Moist or bad system control ic or crystal. Step 1 , if its been raining
in your area === hairdryer, Step 2, if 1 didnt help , replace crystal.
If all the function l.e.d.s come on together u might want to confirm
the syscon. Is the syscon forcing the solenoids to engage ? . What
happens if you disonnect key inputs?.
