Hi Members, This set has came back 2 times with the cassette stuck in the loaded position. After pushing the on/off, and eject buttons several times, it finally starts up, and starts working. I know I need to disassemble and clean the mode switch, Prisim, etc., and maybe replace the center LED,....but, before spending too much time on it, I would like to ask a question. On the main power supply PC board, there is a 2.7 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is tied to a pin on the Reg. IC (labeled R565). This resistor has a wire soldered across it, to give it a resistance of "0" ohms. Is this a factory modification. It looks like a slopy soldering job, and I wounder if this could be related to my original problems. Should I remove the jumper wire ? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
