Well, when my sewing machine did this, I took a hair dryer and held it over the reverse lever for about 5 minutes. I seemed to loosen it up and worked fine after that. When machines sit, the oil can sometimes harden or dry up. Try it and I hope it works.

i feel it is loose connection issue,

Sounds like either a wire has come loose from the switch or the motor that spins the the ( may be integral part of switch ) has gone bad.

I would suspect a door switch is defective or its mount is loose, misaligned, or broken.

See my he;p file on door switches here.

I had the same problem - you can fix with a system reset. Unplug the unit at the wall and wait 2-3 mins, then plug in and switch on while holding the power button - the display will be blank for at first, but will eventually display '---------------------'. Release the power button and switch the unit on as normal. Press the Dab button and the unit will start to auto-search for channels. Give it a few minutes and you'll be back in action :)

i dont think it would be the led ( pass laser) as they last yrs i think you will find its a blown crt in the mouse i would replace it.

Had same problem,,, you need to perform an "Auto-Locate" With unit plugged in but not turned on, push the Page and Power buttoms at the same time,,, continue to hold down the buttons until the "I Agree" message appears. Then release the buttons, agree by pushing Enter. The system will then go through an Auto Locate sequence that corrected my problem.

http://www.richspsxparts.com tells you how to disassemble the game console and replace the old switch this also sells new switches

I have this problem with my ILO quite often when leaving a disk in for a while. The only way to fix it is to take apart the recorder and manually remove the disk. The last time that I did this I dabbed the sticky part of the ILO with a Kleenex (to tone down the "stickiness"). Time will tell if this worked, but so far so good...

press and hold the dab/fm button for 2 seconds, then press enter, it should say system reset, then re scan by doing the auto scan button , job done .. kev
