I do not see that resistor on the schematic or parts list but there are several parts listed as Rxxx but the value says "jumper". What IC and what pin number is it attatched to? I have the same model TV here that I can look at. As far as the VCR problem, I would suggest replacing the mode switch, cleaning the switch does not give good results. Part nimber is SSR0107HD001 or (Mag) 4835-276-17343. The LED may also need replacement. Does the power come on when you push the button the first time? Is the belt slipping? John.
