Faintly blinking power light

I have a Samsung SV-5000W SQPB VCR with power problems. When I plug it in, all is see is a faintly regularly pulsing power light. Any ideas? Thanks much.

    I have the exact problem of no unit response other than a faint blinking red light on the power button. As of yet I have no solution, or reason.

I've had this happen to me twice in 9 years. One or more electrolytic capacitors in the power supply have failed. Replace 5 capacitors C31-C35.

This may indicate power supply problems, or perhaps an overload condition, causing the power supply to go into overload protection. If you have a voltmeter, schematic (helpful but not 100% necessary), you could check voltages. You should see at +5 volts, +12 volts, and one or two others. A frequent power supply problem is one or more electrolytic capacitors go wacky, and cause the voltages to be way off, and a non-operational unit. If this is one of the newer low cost rigs, then taking it to a service center isn't cost effective. Toss it and purchase a new one.

Hello, I am trying to hook my Samsung SV-5000W player to my new Samsung 540 TV. My international movies are not playing. Perhaps there is a setting. My US movies will play, just not German movies...
Check the region coding of the discs. You are probably set for region 1 and the German discs are region 2

Samsung VCR SV-5000W Tracking Problem Symptom: I've used Maxell VCR Head Cleaner VP-100. Still having small white streaks across screen. I can apply small amount of pressure to bottom or top of VCR deck...
Your chassis ground is intermittant. Remove the VCR cover and look just behind the head drum. You will see two copper tangs sticking out, these supply the ground to the grey chassis and are a pressure fit. Remove the 7 screws from the grey chassis, two are underneath the VCR, two on top near the VHS tape opening, and three larger screws are on top of the chassis (2 near back and 1 near front). This will allow you to lift the grey chassis about a 1/2" and you can then reach below the copper tangs and gently pry them up. Reinstall the 7 screws and the VCR cover and the snow will disappear.

Blinking white sparks during playback. My unit has this problem during playback, and I discovered that the SV-5000W has the same problem too ( see http://www.fixya.com/support/t151239-major_dropout ). At...
I looked at the link provided and there was no cure mentioned. From my experience with VCRs in general, I would suspect a flaw in the video pre-amp circuit used for playback. This could be distortion. Without seeing the actual unit and examining the signals on an oscilloscope, I can't be sure where the problem exists. It should be fixable however. Something as simple as a bad filter cap at the heads could cause this as well. The signal levels at the heads are extremely low. This unit requires test equipment that the homeowner is nit likely to posess. I would take this to a service shop.

VCR Samsung SV-5000W
You should take off the top cover with the set unplugged and see if there is a main fuse that popped. If there is, put in another fuse,. If that blows, then your going to need to have the power supply in this unit repaired. Good Luck
