dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks =)

@Atlas Asher definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

@@caspiandamari1046 no way, cause that is also the case for me fellow human being on the internet

Same

I have one too which is ejecting the VHS. I cannot locate the device he is talking about at 4:45. I am going to some more searching. But maybe if I clean the header and sensors like you say, that will work.

I have the same question. My machine has the same problem as this one. Chances are, it's the same dirty part.

Actually Stan it's usually because the VCR is not reading the tape

Patrick Noonan - how does one resolve that issue?

I'm currently working on repairing the same one. I have not yet found it but he says that it's soldered to the circuit board. So it means you'll have to take off the silver housing with the motor on it. I'm trying to figure out a way to take it off without taking too much apart. I'll let you know if I manage to make any progress.

ChrisLau90 did you make progress

I have a Philips SV2000 with almost identical internal components as those shown. Had to remove 5 Phillips head screws that were holding the metal frame with all the tape loading components on it then it was on the underside of the frame that was easily to pull up. It was screwed on with one Philips screw and had grease on the inside as suggested in the video.

It’s technically called a “Mode Switch”. They are almost always located on the bottom of the mechanism, near the take-up reels

where is that part

@@Ryan-zm2nr what part

@@Ryan-zm2nr I'll send you a link to another video this just helped me figure out a different problem

@@Ryan-zm2nr oh it didn't send for some reason ok I'll create a post in my community tab check there in a bit

@@Ryan-zm2nr ok it's up in my community tab for you have fun fixing mate

Sometimes its the rubber wheel that pulls the tape, it is usually on the right side of the machine

That depends. It doesn't work with the remote and by pushing the button on the device itself? Doesn't it even start to rewind at all? But it plays the video just fine?

@@freund333 yes I can watch tapes that are fully rewinded just fine but once I try to rewind it wont do it. The tape will just spill out lol.

@@ElAguilaDeSandiego I would try to clean the tape path. My vcr had problem with rewinding the tape but after cleaning it everything worked fine.

Well it looks like i still helped a fair amount of people to fix their VCRs that had the same problem. Plus i never said that i would be an expert. And if i only got "some" informations right, please correct the ones i got wrong.

@@freund333 That "thingy" is called a mode encoder switch. That switch DOES NOT need to be desoldered to clean. The substance that was in the switch is NOT grease from the VCR. It is dielectric grease. That switch definitely does need to be cleaned but grease should be re-applied. The other things you cleaned should also be cleaned but they are NEVER the cause of the issue you were having. The gears on the mechanism should also be cleaned, inspected, timing verified, and greased with fresh MOLKOTE grease (PG-641). On these Funai made machines, to do the job correctly you need to remove the mechanism from the board which is a real bitch because it's soldered to the board.

@Raccoon City I'm far too busy fixing and flipping them on eBay. About $400,000 worth in 2019.

@Nun Ya teach me your ways oh Obi Wan.
