Found Q523 (2SA564) shorted. Replaced with ECG 290. That restored power up function. TV mode works okay. Now when I insert a tape, it loads completely and begins to play, however, the video head (drum) spins at excessive speed and the vcr shuts down after about half a second. Then pushing any vcr function button has no effect. Have to power off, then power up to eject tape. Any help on this one? TIA Jerry Hoeme Jerry's TV Service 840 S.
