sony vcr eeprom reset
Anyone here good with electronics? I have the world's most unreliable
VCR and will either have to fix it myself or bin it now that it is out of warranty. I can't recall the model number (but will check and post if required), but the machine is about 2 years old. The problem is as follows: any time the power is cut off and then restored, the eeprom values go haywire. Playback becomes impossible to watch and the display language changes and cannot be put back through the menu options. The vid went back for repair 4 times during the warranty period and each time the eeprom values were reset. However, nothing was done to cure the apparent extreme sensitivity of the machine to power surges. I am wondering whether resetting the eeprom values is a simple process (e.g. can be accomplished using the remote control and on screen display) or whether it requires specialist equipment. Anyone give me an idea? Thanks, Jim |
