The TV immediately turns itself off when turned on. A Play station 2 has been played on this particular TV but it will not allow it to be played either. Again, when you turn it on it immediately turns itself off.
Is there a tape in the VCR by chance?.
Usually what happens on these combo units is the VCR develops a
mechanical problem which inhibits the whole thing from working or
overloads the power supply causing it to shutdown.
The ones with the VCR underneath are difficult to work on as the cables
to the VCR are so short you have to disconnect it in order to get it
out where you can see what is going on, then work on a solution, put it
all back together, test it, rinse - lather - repeat. Takes
forever sometimes. Find a good VCR tech and talk to him
nice and maybe they will help you.
