the picture of this vcr looks like a tv with a weak tuner, also has noise like in bad lower drum. also no display at all, not even the clock. the only light on was the power light. caps in power checked ok, i replaced the head with a new one, the piture still the same. is there any way i can check the drum for defect without oscilloscope and without replacing it. thanks. ujosaphat@xxxxxxxxxxx _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html ------------------------------------------ ***NEW*** Tips Added Instantly!!!*** Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/
