Tv shuts off after 10 seconds

go to mcmelectronics.com and order the replacement belt kit. then google your model number on alignment pdf. Your mechanism is out of alignment due to bad belts

Two things. First there is some damage to the tape transport mechanism. Only a good look around will confirm this. Secondly a faulty mode switch.

Sounds like a typical Switched Mode Power Supply fault, or an internal thermal fault that is shutting down the power supply, over & over. Really you need to get it serviced. You need to get a firm "Quote" for repair, remember these days repair can often exceed replacement cost.

the tape is now jammed. stop trying to get it out because it will be destroyed. To rescue the tape now without damage, the tv-man has to open the set and from there un-stick this tape. after that a service is needed in the belts of that machine. The set now is in the middle of this process and maybe this symptom creates the set to shut down after some seconds after because the microprocessor is protecting the complete set integrity.

sounds like your tape is jammed try turning the tv on and ejecting the tape while using something to try to lift the tape up and out good luck.....

I am afraid the set has a bad or broken tape transport, or better known as a bad tape carriage.

It's possible from what you described that your center LED or prisim was broken when the tape was extracted. Like many others these units depend on a series of startup checks and one being the tape path. On the play table of the VCR is a center prisim/LED and two light sensitive diodes on either side of the tape loading assembly. If these diodes do not detect the infared beam the unit will go into shutdown. I'd check there and let me know. Bill

THERE IS A SENSOR SWITCH THAT TELLS THE MACHINE THE TAPE IS LOADED ... SOUNDS LIKE IT IS STUCK. PROBLEM IS ACCESS WITH COMBO'S. THEY ARE A PAIN TO GET AT. THE WHOLE BACK COVER TO THE TV MOST OF THE TIME HAS TO BE REMOVED,... I KNOW ITS NOT MUCH HELP BUT THE MANUFACTURES KNOW THAT... HOPE YOU CAN GET TO THE TRAY INSIDE. Joe_Rex
