RCA VCR vR678HF (on SM with 676HF) Problem -No power. Found Main filter cap 100m 200v blown open - Replaced. Seem to recall one other small cap that ESR'd bad and changed. When first plugged in- would come up "BYE" in display and shut off. Could turn on and get startup menu. Could insert tape and it would play .Could also use tuner. If I hit Eject, unit unloads and may or may not eject tape but- power shuts off and display goes blank. Try to power on and it flashes on and off - coming up and shutting down. So I replaced regulator IC (u4614B). Did not make any difference. May have taken power surge. All Ideas welcome Roger G.
