Just got an old vcr from someone and it seems to have a problem. When plugged in the display and the buttons with lights just blink on and off rapidly, display shows basically rubbish. No idea if/when it last worked. Nothing works while it is doing this so it isnt just a display problem.

Is this a known problem with a known cure? Are there any good sites for finding vcr problem causes/cures?

Model: Sony SLV-x57 Location: Asia Pacific region (NZ)

Thanks A

Have no specific info on this general export model. I can only suggest ordinary stuff - power supply capacitors would be a good place to start.
