    vcr timer light blinks doesn't read remote

    i have a rca vcr. when it is plugged in the timer light flashes. it will not turn on by the remote. i have tested the batteries and remote and they work. when i press the power on the vcr it comes on. also when a tape is put on it goes in a little then comes out. does this sound like a bad circuit board or capacitor? please let me know what is the issue. thank you

    Could be capacitors, could be a broken belt, blocked sensor, or sticky arm in the tape handling mechanism, could be someone pried a jammed tape out.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      Samsung UN60F8000BFXZA ~ No Picture or Sound - 5 Res Light Blinks
      by kca
      Hello all ~

      I’m working on this Samsung 60” LED and purchased a new main board a couple of days ago that did not fix the 5 blink issue. The original main board’s HDMI ports (all 4 of them) failed to work and no amount of reflow remedied that.

      This 5 red light blink code on the front panel LED is followed (about 15-20 seconds afterward) by an automatic reboot, and results in 5 more red light blinks. Then the entire cycle repeats itself indefinitely.

      No picture. No sound.

      I tested all the voltages coming out of the power supply...

      Panasonic Plasma TH-50PZ85U No screen No blinks on red power light
      by Alicat
      Hello,

      Stopped by this site trying to fix my parents Panasonic Plasma TV.

      Model number is TH-50PZ85U

      Power comes on and the red power light stays on solid.

      Did a few checks like hold the power button on for 60 seconds, hold the - Volume while holding the menu button, no luck, still@ blank grey screen as the screen lights up very vague.

      I also hear a few clicks.

      I also think my parents said there was a thunderstorm and the TV failed after that.

      Section 6 in the service manual talks about power and no screen,...

      Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

      I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

      The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

      While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

      So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

      I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...
