Ended up watching one of your vids as I was having alignment issues with a JVC HR4100 portable (very early piano-key style machine). Got that up and running, now I'm addicted to watching your VHS repairs on here! I used to tinker with broken VCRs regularly many years ago, forgotten how much fun they could be to work with!

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I had the same video problem on a JVC and it would fix itself after a few minutes of being powered on so I knew it was a capacitor, but I didn't know about the surface mounted capacitor on the drum! I almost fully replaced all the caps on this JVC and this little hidden surface mount cap was the only problem. Thanks to your videos I've repaired a few units now. Learned a lot, thanks again!

This is a great video. I loved when you showed the proper method for opening those power supplies ;) The way I know that I wasn't doing this repair was the fact that if I had been doing it, the capacitors in those supplies would have been ELNA. Every last one of them. Just had to comment on this :D Back to watching the video.

I am really enjoying your professional videos. I'm learning a lot, exciting stuff!

Enjoyed your video. I did a 2 yr major in electronics in college and went straight into the USAF but never got any practical experience with electrons. Uncle Sam put me in Power Generation. However I loved drafting so I wound up a Instrumentation Design Draftsman, so my electronic training paid off. I'm fooling right now with my own VCR/DVD player and it seems to be a control problem as both the remote and manual buttons on the unit display the same symptoms. Seems to have a mind of its on and will work when it feels like it. I have a ton of old tapes I'd love to keep on playing...Thanks for the vid.

Enjoyed your video...good to know about the elna caps.

I never knew that it was Mitsubishi who started the whole fully-loaded tape. Excellent video, I had a few of those JVCs.

Actually it was Sony, with the Betamax format. they were fully loaded from the beginning. VHS initially had too many sharp bends in the tape, but Mitsubishi changed the location of the ACE head, and capstan / pinch roller by adding the additional guide to pull out more tape, which allowed fully loaded rewind and FF.

You just helped me fix my old JVC HRD910EG

My father bought a Marantz 4400 quadraphonic receiver when he was stationed in Japan. That thing had Elna capacitors in the power board and amplifiers. One day, he turned it on, and that thing self destructed, and took a pair of nice vintage Pioneers with it. I remember that thing made the most horrible, loud screaming high pitched noise that I have ever heard as a kid. I remember my father pulling the receiver from the cabinet with the power chord, and tossing it on the floor. I guess he feared it would cause a fire, because it was smoking hot.

As the saying goes -{ They don't make them like that any more } One of the better built units too I bet.. Always a great teacher you are Dave...I sure enjoy your teaching vids.

At least you don't have to worry about hybrids in the power supply; in Hitachi VCRs in the early '90s there was a hybrid circuit in the power supply which supplied the voltages for the VFD display, and these went out often enough that some supply houses took to carrying them in their catalogues.

Pretty much all capacitors will fail regardless of brand. I have some blue Elna's in an amplifier and they are all good. They are also very old. I had a Tantalum surface mount capacitor in a new battery discharge tester blow up and I mean BLOW UP! It shot sparks and a fireball across my living room. I wasn't happy at all, it could have caused a fire. That is why we must inspect these things. Even new they can fail. I have had some party poppers as well, but never leaking electrolyte, at least not yet. I have an old JVC super VHS that I need to get out of storage to make sure it still works. I may need to replace some caps in it.

Luckily my dad was an electronic controls engineer and worked for Electrols, Tehctronics, and several other compnies. He is passed now, but I have a bunch of his tools.

This video was an invaluable piece of information, but I can't find it now. I thought I saved it... Can you repost videos relating to blikning power inticator followed by powering off (i think you diagnosed it as a bad diode), and the unit powering of after a vhs tape loads and reels?

+Sandip Chattopadhyay The fact that you get no video from the RF or video input, and it will not record but plays tells me that the fault is in the record video circuit. Could be in the comb filter circuit. Unfortunately you will probably need a scope and schematic to trace where you are loosing the signal. Could be a switch (either mechanical or video switch buried in an IC) that switches between tuner and external input, or it could be a failure or either one of the ICs or control circuitry in the record video circuit.

Can you fix my vcr

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a Sylvania VCA4310AT01 made in Japan on Jan 21 1992. (I believe it is same as Panasonic.) I have owned it from the start. For a long time I didn't use it because I had a TV/VCR combo. When I bought a new TV, I realized I needed the VCR again. It still worked, but the picture was snowy. About a year ago I cleaned the heads with isopropyl alcohol and got a big improvement in picture quality. But after about 20 hours of use, it developed a new problem: The tape feeds and ejects perfectly--no mechanical problems. But after the tape threads, I get an image and sound for less than a second, and then it goes off. Happens every time with every tape I try. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Do you get a picture in pause, or on forward and reverse search? If so then the trouble is in the control track circuit, and it could be something as simple as a dirty control track head. (That is the bottom edge of the linear audio head that is located between the drum and capstan / pinch roller) If that head gets dirty the control signals become weak, and the unit sees it as a blank tape and mutes the video signal.

Keep this in mind with DVD / VCR combo units. Most have a componet and possibly an HDMI output that ONLY works for the DVD side. There is no output from the VHS side on componet / HDMI only from the composite / RF output. So you have to hook up both sets of cables. Generally the composite . RF output will output the DVD signal as well as an interlaced signal. The Componey and HDMI will output a progressive signal, and there lies the problem. VHS is an interlaced only format. DVD can do both interlaced and progressive.

Some of the later ones, units made in the VHS era of Sanyo/Fisher did, but the original ones like the 9100 did not unthread the tape. Most likely reason, they were using the micro designed for the vhs series to cut costs rather than have a seperate run for their beta machines.

I'm enjoying watching you work. I would enjoy it more if you would stop calling the fluid electrolytic. Electrolytic is a property of it not the fluid itself. Electrolyte is the fluid.

I have a JVC HR-D566U VCR which won't rewind after the tape is stopped. You can hear the motor trying to do something for a few seconds, but nothing happens, and then it stops trying. On the other hand, it rewinds just fine in search mode, i.e., if you press and hold the rewind button while the tape is playing. Fast forward works fine in both search mode and high speed mode. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks for the reply. Would you believe that it fixed itself? I took the top off it to try to see what was going on, pressed the rewind button, and it failed, same as it's been doing all along. I moved in for a closer look, pressed rewind again, and it actually worked; slowly at first, like it was struggling, and gradually getting up to full speed. I've tested it a couple dozen times since then, and it's worked every time, and without any struggling after that first time that it worked. There are two other issues with it though, and I think they may be related to each other: 1. The tracking knob doesn't seem to do anything; you can turn it all the way to the left or right and it doesn't affect the picture at all. 2. Sometimes when I play a tape it has staticky lines across the picture, and the picture is even rolling in some cases, like a severe case of bad tracking. If I press stop, and then play again, it's usually back to normal.

Hopefully it stays fixed. Do you have any ideas about the tracking knob not doing anything? I think it might be related to the picture looking like a severe case of bad tracking every other time I press play. If the tracking circuitry that the knob is supposed to control is screwy, maybe sometimes it's electrically in an extreme tracking position that causes a staticky picture, and other times it's electrically in a more normal tracking position. It may even be a cracked solder joint for the tracking pot. Also, if I play a tape immediately after powering the VCR on, there's very prominent wavy interference patterns on the screen. After a few minutes it goes away, and then there are only slight, barely noticeable wavy interference patterns. My guess is a failing filter capacitor in the power supply. I plan to replace all of the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply anyway.

+Benjamin “Ozias” Esposti Elna is actually _okay_ (not great, mind you, but infinitely better than the likes of Chicon or Samwha ... if that's any consolation), but they certainly had their FUBAR moments, such as their ironically-named LongLife capacitors used in power supplies made by Shindengen in many Sony VCRs. (Sony also used power supplies made by Mitsumi and they didn't have as many problems with leaky caps as the Shindengen-made units, and if memory serves me, Mitsumi used Matsushita Caps, a.k.a. Panasonic). Nippon Chemi-con, the brand you trust more than Elna, is another decent one. So are Nichicon, Rubycon, and even Suncon (formerly Sanyo). And, to add an American choice, Vishay Sprague. And, just to show that Taiwan can turn out decent caps every once in a while: Jamicon. But my personal favorite brand is Panasonic. I've almost always had the best luck with caps made by those guys.

Bad chemistry on the electrolytic. They like to be charged, and the chemistry is designed so that when operated at rated working voltage the electrolytic is close to neutral PH. Sit in a discharged state, and some electrolytic becomes slightly alkaline or acidic. This can eat the copper lead, and form a gap that allows the corrosive liquid to leak out.

+Alan Wong Mode switch would be my first thought on this one. The little coupling caps on the motors, when they go bad generally just don't pass the FG or PG signals to the servos, and that results in a speed / phase error, not a direction. If not the mode switch, check for circuit glue that has deteriorated and become conductive. That's the yellow circuit glue used to secure components and wires to PC boards during assembly to keep them out of the way. That glue breaks down and becomes conductive and causes a high resistance short. Need to scrape all that crusty brown crap off the board.

Most machines have little or no value. The high end units, that being the S-VHS, Beta and Hi-8 decks have value. The reason is for someone with tapes recorded in those formats that they want to save. For people that only rented movies, or recorded TV shows you are correct. But for people with family memories on one of these obsolete formats, then a machine has value. I recently sold an old mono betamax unit to a guy that had a library of tapes to transfer. It was going to cost him thousands to have the tapes transfered. I had a few old Beta machines, so he convinced me to sell him one, and we struck a deal, 500.00! There was no way he was going to pay me 20.00 per tape as he has over 250 tapes of his family, and I had an extra machine that I had salvaged so I make money, and he saves some money, and I don't have to sit there for hours babysitting the machine as the tapes transfer to the computer. So it is all about who wants the machine. To most they are worthless, but to someone with a collection of tapes they want to archive they do have value. I just put them up on craigslist, and eventually they all sell. I get 20.00 for working VHS machines on a regular basis.
