I have just fixed one of these. The problem was C104 inside the metal shielded section of the PSU. It's a 2.2uF 50V capacitor. Sony used an 85degC version rather than a 105degC (which I've used). Fortunately, no other components were damaged.

DV or DVCAM.if u record in DVCAM then it will happen like this.So change in DV

Blowing fuses are always an indication of a short circuit somewhere in the circuitry of you unit. Unfortunately, this will require a trip to the shop. Get an estimate before approving repair. In the new world of disposable electronics the cost of repair may exceed the value of the unit.

yes

The timer/display control IC501, located on the FM 26 board (right behind the display tube) is likely bad.
the part number is 8-759-368-84.It will NOT be an easy part for an average consumer to replace. You would be better off looking for a complete FM 26 board A7066705A.

sounds like a keyboard problem, but check all the electrolytic caps -- bad caps sometimes produce strange symptoms.

The head may be dirty, clean it with a cleaning cassete, playing using the cleaning cassete will clean the dirty head.

What do you mean by "not able to play my VCR with some cassettes. " Is it that some tapes do not display images? No Video? From your name it seems that you are from India, Assuming that to be so, I also presume that you must be possesing a Multi-System VCR, to play back PAL Tapes from India, and NTSC tapes from the US. And if that is the case, I guess it is a simple problem of resetting the System standards. Please go to the Main menu of your VCR using the Remote, and select AUTO in System (You will be given choices of AUTO, PAL, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43 and NTSC PB PAL. Likewise, it is entirely possible that your Television SYSTEm Standard has been accidentally changed. If it is Multi System TV, Then, again, using the Remote of the TV, select Menu, and then select AUTO in System. In all likelihood your problem should get solved.
