This Zenith TV/VCR Model TVY2021 When set is plugged into ac, tries to eject with no tape in it, then shuts off. Push power button will come on for about 10 seconds and shuts off. (Fix) Resolder p/c bd. in and around the mode switch connector to main bd. Clean and bend contacts out on connector to ensure good connection to the mode switch. This was a very elusive problem. I had checked end sensors, mode switch internally, as well as power to all the components mentioned. Cleaned all the contacts inside and out of the mode switch. Found problem by accident. When checking the operation sequence I had my arm resting on the cassette holder {no screws in it} and it started to work normally. That's when I started soldering every thing in the vicinity. It didn't cure it completely, but by raising the main bd. a little it would work. Finally went back to the mode switch plug. It looked fine but bent the contacts. It worked ok.
