The VCR (Orion VR0211) was working fine one day, then wouldn't turn on the next day - not with the remote, not with the switch on the box itself.
There is a glass fuse inside which is intact. I also tested it with an ohm meter. What else would be a likely cause of this problem? Thanks.
Something went pop in the power supply I expect.
Orions soldier on quite well actually. The one I bought in 1988 ( branded Matsui ) still works OK albeit with a noisy motor now.
A competent tech can probably fix it fairly easily.

Probably bad electrolytic capacitors in the power supply.
Especially likely if it has a few years on it ! They only last so long.

Probably a dry electrolytic capacitor in the SMPS. If you've repaired these before it should be no trouble finding it. If not, who knows?

start by changng the small cap (1uF, 2.2uf or 10uF) near the switching transistor in the power supply. This problem is extremely common-
