I know i know ... throw it away .. i already did the last 4 or 5 that did this & tought by now some of you might know what it is
Go video dvd-vcr combo model dvr4400 probably last years model . The clock dashes light up when plugged in but nothing else will power on no buttons will do anything . I have checked any fuse links i know of and for stuck down buttons already .
Ken G: I have repaired several of the of the exact model with the same symptom..... .....you didn't mention that you checked the SMPS electrolytics with an ESR meter.... hint, hint...... ....or maybe you should take it to a service shop for repairs if you are not certain how to proceed with this repair..... probably around a $30 - $38 repair cost at a shop that reguarly does these machines and knows what the common failure modes are. I know from many your previous postings that you have a real disdain for repair shops and service techs.... but give them some credit, the ones that are still staying alive in this business usually have a good reputation and would know to check the caps in the SMPS with an ESR meter given the symptoms you reported. You can find more troubleshooting tips and repair proceedures on the website for this newsgroup at
The only repair techs/shops i have a problem with are the ones that charge 75$ to clean the lens in something or charge 250$ to replace a vertical chip , lie & rip people off . What do you do keep notes on each poster and keep tabs :-)
If a shop only charged 38$ to totaly take one of these apart like you have to do and get it fixed then god bless that shop !
