Why did my used RCA VR319 VHS player suddenly stop working? It won't play or eject, but power comes on (and flashes continuosly on and off).

I bought a used RCA VR319 VHS player and it worked amazing. My husband ejected a movie, put in another tape, and now it keep flashing power, but won't play, and the TV goes from blue VHS screen to "no signal" as the machine does its flashing. What happened? Oh, and it won't eject the tape that's in there now.

Hi Yvonne, as you comment, there may be two reasons for failure, the internal RCA straps stretched and therefore fail to transmit the movement so that it works correctly and the other reason, the VHS tapes, which are wet
Observe through the two upper windows of the Video cassette, that the tape is without any white spots, if white spots appear, these are due to moisture and the tape with humidity, it cannot move correctly inside the video cassette, and can cause the fault what do you describe
Also verify that the drum of the video heads is clean and free of moisture
I hope you can watch your videos
Regards Franco Dosil

Hola Yvonne, por lo que comentas, puede haber dos motivos de falla, las correas internas del RCA estiradas y por lo tanto no logran trasmitir el movimiento para que fun cione correctamente y el otro motivo, las cintas VHS, que se encuentren humedas
Observa por las dos ventanas superiores del Video cassette, que la cinta se encuentre sin ninguna mancha blanca, si te aparecen manchas blancas, estas son por humedad y la cinta con humedad, no puede desplazarse correctamente dentro de la video cassettera, pudiendo producir la falla que describes
Verifica tambien que el tambor de los cabezales de video, se encuentre limpio y sin humedad
Espero puedas ver tus videos
Saludos Franco Dosil

Testimonial: "There is no moisture. The video cassette is stuck in the machine, so there is no way to check anything on it anyhow. We haven't had high humidity in a while, so there would be no reason for machine or tape to have any moisture, and we take good care of our collection."

    Well Yvonne, then you have to carefully remove the cassette, manually
    You would have to take out the covers and observe where the motor that governs the entire mechanism of entry and exit of the cassette and transfer of the tape
    if you can well, but I advise you to look for a specialized technical service in videocassetteras
    I hope you can solve the problem
    Regards Franco Dosil
    Bien Yvonne, entonces queda sacar con cuidado el videocassette, manualmente
    Tendrias que sacar las tapas y observar donde esta el motor que gobierna todo el mecanismo de entrada y salida del cassette y traslado de la cinta
    si puedes bien, sino te aconsejo que busques un servicio tecnico especializado en videocassetteras
    Espero puedan resolver el problema
    Saludos Franco Dosil

SOURCE: Eject is flashing with fast beeps. Won't eject tape or open compartment.

sad to say that the problem of your camera is the timing gear is already damage....it need to disassembly the camera to fix the timing gear....go to the qualified service center for fixing or replacing the timing gear..

SOURCE: Panasonic Palmcorder PV-43D cannot get door open

Hi there.
Sometimes a gentle slap with the palm of your hand with the door facing towards the ground does the trick, make sure you power it off then on press eject while you gently slap it.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

SOURCE: Magnavox mwd 2206 dvd vcr player....shuts off with eject word across screen.

I have the same unit (Magnavox DVD/VCR MWD 2206). If the top cover was removed, the DVD player would work fine. But if the clear plastic sensor post on the VCR side is covered, the unit would shut off. I removed the screw holding the sensor post in place and cleaned the led light under it using a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol on it. Then I screwed the clear plastic sensor back in place and cleaned it the same way. The unit now works great!

Vhs is stuck in machine. Won't play and won't eject.

There are any number of reasons why it won't play. The loading basket is jammed, the video tape has got tangled up in the mechanical section of the vcr or the loading gears are stripped. Unplug machine and remove top, [screws side and back] if the tape is spewed carefully remove by cutting it and clean tape particles, for any other problem have a technician check it out.

Dvd player will not eject or play dvd. It just keeps spinning and says "reading." I've tried unplugging for 2 minutes, pushing close/open and stop at the same time(hold for at least 3 seconds)....

Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet and turn the player ON. Attempt to open the disc tray. Depending on the model number of your DVD player, simultaneously press the POWER + STOP + EJECT buttons. If the disc tray still does not open, simultaneously press the DISC1 + STOP + EJECT buttons.6 Jan 2013

Vhs eject will not release tape.

I had a suggestion that did work. Reach into the VHS compartment with left hand and press down toward the back of the tape. With the right hand press the eject button a few times and the tape did come out. I would not buy a Samsung product again. No help from their 800 tech support. No more playing the VHS side of the player. Lynn

Can't view DVD's burned from the tv on a DRC8335 RCA DVD recorder

If you do not finalize the disc then you can not play it back. Go back to your instruction manual and look under 'setting options'. There should be a choice to 'finalize disc before ejecting'. The recorder will not finalize a disc until it knows when you are done recording, so you have to tell it somehow.
