Hi Gang, I have repaired this Sharp camcorder model VL-L50u about a year ago. At that time I replaced a "Fish" cap C973 with a regular cap, and run a jumper wire to the fuse. It is now back in here, with another NO power problem. This time, I have the +6 volts to the fuse, from the AC adaptor, but, unit will not power up. All 3 fuses are good. I am wondering if it is worth while to remove and check some more "Fish" caps in the power supply area. I told the customer that if I fix it, the repair may not be reliable. He said to go ahead and try. I guess what I'm asking of the list members, is.....which caps are the most likely to cause a NO pwr. problem ? I have no schematics on this unit.
