The SAFE message signals that one of the motors on the VHS mechanism has failed and now acts as a short and that triggers the safety system which blocks everything, hence the message and the behaviour . The only way to fix that is to open the unit and test the voltages on the motors and identify the failed motor - the one that is below 11 volts is the failed one - and it will have to be replaced if you can find it as a replacement part (difficult but possible) .
If you don't know how to do it or you can't find just the motor it would bee necessary to take it to a repair shop and they will replace the entire mechanism. I don't recommend that since the repair and the replacement mechanism would cost more than a brand new unit - it will be cheaper to discard this one and get a new one.

Hibernate issue

Boot the computer into Safe Mode and try changing the Power Options.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is normal.
