I some how missed the answer to this. Can any one help? This inquiry is specific to the deck used in this SLV-998HF VCR. This is the second in 2 weeks that has the eject problem. I checked for dry lubricant and lubricated where I felt necessary. When the unit is having a problem ejecting I can assist the VCR by opening the cassette door. I have tried this several times and the tape will eject even after 3 or 4 failures to eject the tape. Nothing looks broken or damaged. If I try to assisting by pushing the lever that opens the door the operation will fail again. The unit that seemed to have the same failure mode 2 weeks ago was helped with lubrication. -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of preston McGiboney Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 4:21 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Sony vcr SLV700HF This vcr sony slv700hf will work fine when first plugged in and used. After a while however it will refuse to eject tape. I know there was a fix of some sort with a cap across 2 pins of the carriage board. Anyone out there have this fix.
