Magnavox VCR (model VR9640AT01) rewinds 4 seconds then shuts off
I have an old Magnavox VCR (model VR9640AT01 VCR, mfr date 12-4-1987),
which shut off last week while playing a tape. When I powered it back on, it made noises for exactly 4 seconds, and then shut off again. None of the buttons (Eject, Play, etc.,) work! To see what was happening, I removed the casing, plugged it in, and powered it on. It was REWINDING for 4 secs before shutting off. When I kept my finger on the Power button, it rewound, stopped, rewound, stopped -- until it got to the beginning of the tape. Now, when I press the Power button it TRIES to rewind and shuts off. Any ideas? Or, are the internal electronics kaput and need a technician? Note: If you post a reply, please email me a copy if it to |

Perhaps the load belt (underneath) is broken. Maybe the mode switch needs cleaning. Mark Z. |
