DVD VCR combo DVR 4400 where the clock dashes light up but nothing will power on . A tape will load into the VCR then eject . The thing looks never used & i have had a few that do this . One person suggested capacitors in the power supply .. nope they all ESR good i changed the 22-16 np anyway & no go .
Any more ideas ?
Did you take readings at the outputs of the power supply while inserting the tape? If you see more than about a 2% dip at any of its outputs, the supply is not fixed.
I cannot be specific to the model you have. It is also possible that the tape is not being properly sensed for proper loading, and therefore it is ejected. There may be something mechanically jamming, and thus the tape is ejected. It is possible that there is some type of fault with the uPC, and therefore there is improper function.
In the end, you may have to replace the combo unit, since there is really no service support for these. I would doubt you can have parts or service information for it.

Hi Jana . The vcr mech is ok , the problem is the whole machine wont turn on . Only the clock dashes light up when the cord is plugged in the wall . I have run across several that do this and almost new out of the box .
I know they are not worth messing with to far but thought someone else seen this . I believe its a factory defect .
