video tape stuck
got a video machine, video tape is not coming out..
I found a post about this possibly being a weak power supply issue.. I unplugged it. opened it up, could not see anything caught. could not scroll the scrolly thing (a site mentioned to try that) I removed magnetic tape of the tape from the mechanics of the video machine but that was irrelevant. It was not the tape's magnetic tape that was getting it caught. I noticed all symptoms were, ejecting DVDs was not working. no response ejecting VHS tape was not working LED was dim I guess it is weak power supply issue, is there anything I can do? e.g. in terms of replacing the power supply.. is it tricky, different video machines, different specs, hard to find a replacement? e.g. can I use a hacked ACDC adaptor, or computer PSU to get 12V or 5V, and feed it somewhere to get the tape out? I am not an electronics geek.. but I do have a multimeter, and have used it as a computer techie. |
