ok my parents have got a sanyo vcr which is about 3 maybe 4 years old and apparently today it just stopped working, you can turn it on via the button on the actual vcr and the remote but nothing else works on the remote or the other buttons on the front of the vcr? we have put brand new batteries in the remote but that doesnt make it work.

Seems strange to me it was working fine yesterday and now all of the sudden most of the buttons dont work and we cant even eject the tape.

It gets used nearly everyday by my mum so i guess its had alot of use

What are we thinking? screwed internally or something simple?

 

VCR? What the fook is one of them??!!

 

buy a dvd player

 

after a while the conductive layer on tghe back of the butons can fail .. might have one button shorting out the rest inside and not know it .. should be able to get a new remote easily enough

 

those universal remotes arent that expensive from argos or one from a pound shop

 

yeah but why doesnt the buttons work on the vcr either? only the power button

By the way there very old fashioned, they dont even watch dvds etc so they wouldnt have any use from dvd player and plus they wouldnt know what half the buttons did

 

gonna probley have a mech jam error chap,take the lid off and see if its chewed the tape up,gimmie a PM and see if i can help

 

new vcr asda £40
