The problem turned out to be a bad cylinder (head) motor, showed in self diagnostic in SM then checked it. Called costumer with the news. She then told me she lent it to a friend and got it back with a tape eaten in it. Took it to another shop and had tape remove and did not work since. wish she would have told me this from the beginning. thanks to all replied Albert Walfield Albert Walfield's Electronics 28 Mulock Rd.
