This Sharp VCR model VCH857 would not accept a tape.

Solution:

Replace small circuit board (includes leaf switch) on right side of 
carriage. Sharp part number: DUNTK3194HE00



Also, another problem with the same VCR:

When in play, the speed was about 4 times the normal for either EP or 
SP. Forward and reverse cue looked normal, and all other functions 
worked fine.

Solution:

There was a bad connection of the 1 1/2 inch wide white ribbon cable 
fitting into socket AA on the main board. Cleaned end of cable with 
pencil eraser and sprayed contact cleaner into the socket AA. Problem 
solved.
