VCR S-VHS JVC HR-S9500 Switches off after 6 seconds

Hello JVC researchers!

I had a similar problem with my JVC HR-S9500 but it switched off after 1 to 2 seconds. I did some research and changed the gold-cap and some other condesators but nothing helped. Then I tried to find the signal for switching off. There are some wire bridges near the gold-cap towards the microprocessors. One of the soldering points of the wires has been a cold one! Resoldering worked and now it is running again!

If the power levels look correct, then remove and thoroughly clean and
reassemble the mode switch.

I think a HR-S9500 has the SMPS on the main board, and since it's not
enclosed, the caps don't tend to go bad as often.

This a typical problem in JVC VCRs
Take off the power supply module and replace all the electrolitic
capacitors.

As soon as the tape loads press pause.
If it sits in pause ok then you probably have a reel sensor problem.
If it still cuts out you probably have a drum rotation detection fault or
tape loading is not complete.

does it go into PLAY mode? does the TU reel turn?
