I found this RCA combo DVR recorder and VHS recorder on sale for $99, sold under the Curtis brand name with the same DRC8335 model number, but after reading all the negative reviews (80-90% negative, most people reporting outright failure), I'm thinking of taking it back. But does anybody know why these recorders have fail so much and how the failures have been solved, if they have beenl? Neither Curtis nor RCA can tell me anything (I've tried 8 different RCA phone nos.). Several people have reported that replacing capacitor C226 (470uF, 16V, brand mark is an "S" inside a circle -- what's that?) in the main power supply fixes everything, but some say it hasn't helped.

This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....-

Is it possible to have an aux input in place of the radio on the am band range? When connecting to the tape recorder, I have additional tape noise. There is an integrated circuit HA11251 in the schematic. Which pin is the am radio output on?

I have a Quantum SuperLoader robotic tape library that uses an IBM LTO 7 tape drive which is constantly complaining that it needs cleaning. If you insert a cleaning tape, it performs the clean and resets the cleaning counter to 0 hours. It should only require cleaning every 50 or so working hours but after as little as just 1 hours use it requests cleaning. We've purchased a new cleaning tape along with new LTO backup tapes but that has not resolved the problem.
I have taken the library apart and can see no noticeable signs of dust inside. I have removed the tape drive from the... -
