- This Magnavox MWD2205 came in with the issue that it eats tapes. All it needed was a mode select switch cleaning and DVD-VCR servicing (didnt record, sorry)

The mode switch of death! Glad you got this fixed.
Une year since this video was uploaded and still helping fix VCRs! Thank you! I've just did this procedure cause I was having the exact problem on my Magnabox ZV450MW8. It was a bit different inside but still the same procedure. Got it fixed, Thanks!
I just bought this exact model at a Goodwill this weekend, and it did this exact thing. I've been hoping to get in the hobby of fixing VCRs and thought I'd use a thrift store bought one as a start. Luckily I found this video and I think it'll help me very much
So this did work to an extent; it no longer eats tapes, but there's been issues with tapes playing for 20 minutes and then stopping, barely controllable tracking, which I've manually tried to adjust inside the machine and after repeated cleanings, and some tapes just not playing but play just fine in another unit and then playing other tapes just fine.
Upon further research I've heard that these combination units are generally pieces of crap, and I've got another VCR that's just a VCR in storage that I plan to work on and hopefully that works better than this p.o.s.
This worked to fix the same issue on my dv220mw9. Thanks!
Wow, as i watch this im laughing my a** off cause ive got this exact one right in front of me. I got it from my aunt. Its been sitting a couple years and it still functions as its supposed to. Now in the future if and when it acts up, ill know how to fix it. Thanks for the video!
Hello, I want to say Thank you very much for your videos, I had purchased a VCR for $10 and little did I know that it was super dirty inside , I had put in a tape and it played then when my son found my Disney movies we decided to give it a try, well it ate the tape and the right hand side was not spinning so the tape went all over inside . I opened the top just as you show and wow it was a roach motel of dead and dry roaches, I was in shock, I used my vacuum to clean it out then I went to look for a component cleaner and cleaned it all inside with Q-tips everything you covered - I even left the plactic coverings in a large pail with soap and scrubbed them the next day. I put it together and before playing I FF to make sure it would move forward and it did!!!!! it made weird noises but at the end it eased up so then I RW and covered the lid , connected to TV luckily I had great Component connector and to my surprise and happiness IT WORKED!! both VCR and DVD , I didnt try to record because my son was anxiously awaiting to see my DIsney VHS collection, I want to say Thank you so much your step by step instructions helped me greatly!!!
I did subscribe and liked most of your videos!! Thank you
Another awesome video!Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much!!! When would be a good time ship mine to you. Rhetorical of course
I wish I was as good as you! I'm depressed because I want it fixed soooo bad! Fantastic job bro!!!!❤
You can send it to me if you want though. email me Norcal715videos@gmail.com Be very patient, I just started looking at emails after the daughter and son in laws accident in January.
Good Job!
Having this same exact issue.
Glad I found this video.
Going to give it a try.
Thanks.
Also...can't seem to find a head cleaner cassette. Any alternatives for head cleaning while I have the unit apart?
Wish me luck, I am about to attempt this!😅
Can you also do a repair video of a Magnavox MSD805 vhs vcr repair ?
Hey I know this is one year ago but have the exact same model and problem with mine. Would you be able to fix it for me, or tell me the same chemical, or stuff you used to clean it ,or like where to buy them? Im debating wether to do it myself since im afraid of messing it up.
Nice !!!
Can I use rubbing alcohol instead of acetone? and what is the best dielectric grease to buy for this?
Interesting, thnx for the video ❤️ I have one LG combo player that plays great, ff and rew just fine. It's when i press eject it eats the tape.
probably the clutch in the center that switches from low torque in the play mode to high torque in the FF-REW/eject position. Also could be a brake not releasing the reel tables at the correct time too.
@@norcal715 know any videos how to examine and fix it? Sorry for boteribg you. Im a totally novis trying to get some of my VCRs back on track 🤣
My Magnavox VCR MWD 2205 time clock loses a few seconds daily. Any hope for fixing that? Thanks for your great videos! Sharing your experience in such a manner speaks highly of you.
I would start by replacing he 32.768Khz crystal and associated capacitors on the main microprocessor. That is the reference it uses to keep time.
@@norcal715 Thank you for that... I'll have a starting point now and will do the caps first to see how it goes. The xtal may be a little harder to get so I'll do it last if need be. It jumped late 40 seconds on a couple occasions so there's an intermittent nature to it at times. Best regards.
Love the fact that your video doesn't have a bunch of superfluous verbage. Where can I get the grease you use in your video?
Great Videos. I have a Magnavox MWD 2205 VCR/DVD combo. The VCR side the tape stuck in and out, once I push it in, it plays the tape well with the picture. On the DVD side, there is no video output thru the RCA yellow cable, so no picture, but it has sound, so the DVD plays. Wondering if this can be fixed?
I would need to look at it to do a full evaluation.
My vcr was doing the same thing. I took it apart like you did. Cleaned the control switch. Put it back together. I have video but no audio. Any suggestions?
I also have a Magnavox MWD2205. It's not working. It may have been affected by power surge from a recent thunderstorm. Does it have a factory-reset button? Is it INSIDE the unit?
Good repair i have some toshiba dvr7 with this problème, wich crease you are using for the mod switch please any link or name. Thank you
Silicone dielectric grease. You can find it most auto parts stores
What is with you and these Magnavox VCR/DVD combos? Do you specifically ask for these? LOL!
Nope, They find me!
@@norcal715 Some youtube repairers cuss VCR's, but I kinda like them. Watched many a movie on them back in the day. I try to keep them running myself. They talk about how bad the picture quality was, but who really cares about hi def picture quality, I just need to know what's happening, not be able to count how many hairs a person has in their nostrils. LOL!
So I've been thur every one of your videos and you work on these often. My model is the DV220MW9. My autistic daughter collects them and watching your videos help keep up with repairs and maintenance. But we started having a new issue, one you glaze over in just about every video. Your test start with checking the function of what in one video you called a capstan I believe. You always check that yours is freely moving, so far i haven't found one where you are unable to spin that bar to move the gears. I can't get it to move. I can move the gears just fine and the belt under it, that I'm assuming connects them, is freely moving the gears when I use something to move the belt, that seems to have got tension and is not broken. It's the sliver thing you try to spin, my just seems seized. Have you covered this issue in a video for maybe a different yet similar brand. I think I've checked every magnavox video you have. 😊 thank you
I did have one that had a seized capstan motor that I had to replace from a scrap unit. I tried to clean it and lubricate it. It worked good but was noisy. I ended up replacing it. th-cam.com/video/l0FVyg4gw04/w-d-xo.html It was a Sanyo, but made by the same company Funai/Symphonic that makes the Magnavox branded units.
@@norcal715 thank you!!
I have a question. My VCR is a Toshiba 4 head HI FI stereo. When I put a vhs in, it plays for about 3 seconds and then stops (doesn’t eject the vhs). When I opened up the VCR and press play it has loose tape towards the “take up” side (no dents just excess) then after 3 seconds it stops and puts the tape back into the vhs. At which point I can eject the vhs. Do you know what the issue could be?
Is it taking the tape up when playing, or spilling the tape after the pinch roller/capstan? They have reel rotation detection if take up is not detected it will shut the machine down to protect the tape.
Do you still fix magavox combo vcr dvd players? I have taped segments of my deceased family member on vcr but it keeps eating the tapes, so I cannot record them over to the dvd. I need help please!
Steve, Had a lightening strike close by, power went out, then back on and the tape deck was dead. Checked fuse, was okay. What could have happened? Everything appears to look normal and it was off during the event and was the only electronic that was damaged throughout the house. Coincidence?
Probably not, if it has a switching power supply then It may have a bootstrap cap that is bad. That is the capacitor that starts the switching power supply. Its only job is to start it, then it is not used until it is powered off and on again in normal operation. If power was removed and it is bad it wouldn't start again. What brand and model is it?
Likely 3.3v switch regulator if it powers on and off and two light DVD and VHS light blinks. If completely dead could be anything? Without testing for missing voltages and etc can't troubleshoot, or guess? That assuming it a Funai made made like this one.
I have this unit and haven't used in years. It was working but now the power button does come on good. Mashing a lot will usually come on but only for a few sections and goes off. I have the remote but can't get batteries to work? Any help?
t
Check the power supply capacitors for bulges.
Is the internal set up the same with the mwd2206? Or do you have a video of that model?
I do not know if they are the same, sorry.
Could you help me, mine turns of when I want to play a vhs tape. dvd works fine
Hello, would this process be pretty similar for my Magnavox dvd/vcr combo mod.# ZV457MG9 ? It doesn’t eat the tape but it will not play either.
Thanks in advance for the
reply and Happy Holidays!
I have a Magnavox MWD 2205 VCR/DVD combo and the DVD works fine but the VCR has no picture - only sound. What can cause this?
Could be clogged (dirty) video heads. If it does not see a quality video signal it will mute the output. Do you see anything (even faint) in play with FWD search or REV search?
Stainless toothbrush. I really hope no one uses this as a toothbrush :D
Im betting Jaws from 007 movies would love this one 😀👌
I have maganox dvd/vcr combo that loses power when i play a vcr
Most likely a bad capacitor or a mode select switch issue.
Any way to get comment since this video is over a year old?
I do check comments when I have time.
You are again type casted.
I don't know if that is a positive or negative comment.
So basically junk it and buy another unit that works...like 0.1% of people will do this but hey a tutorial exists.
I am thinking 10% will try and 5% will succeed. Better than nothing!
Can you also do a repair video of a Magnavox MSD805 vhs vcr repair ?
