I have the same one but mine doesn't eat the tapes it just cuts on an off an the DVD player has a fuzzy thing that pops on an off

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

i think its still the mode control switch

[@chickenfriedtech9307]

@6:37 I actually tried that and it actually solved 25% of the problems. It no longer eats tapes and it plays the tape for a few seconds. Rewinding still doesn’t work but fast forward worked until it stopped for some reason and it could play the tape without any problems until I fast forwarded it. It did attempt to eat my test tape when I tried to rewind it the first time but it hasn’t after that.
Edit: Those other problems seem only to be with the tape I was testing with. It worked without any issues with a different tape.

Might be a belt. Either clean it or replace it, if you can find any.

@@kellyobrien8599 it ended up being the mode control switch I had to take the top of it off to clean it

[@tigernipples4785]

I'm interested to know if the DVD side still works. When you disconnected it, you risk static electricity damaging the chips, usually, on the right side, where there are 2 ribbon connectors.

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

hey, the dvd still works

[@kingshearer2]

I thought your suppose to remember where the switch was set when you take it out and when you return it you need to fit it in the exact same position

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

it only fits in one way

[@kingshearer2]
