If it uses a Switch Mode Power Supply instead of a power transformer then it can die without blowing a fuse. Caps, diodes, and transistors can fail in a SWMPS and still look perfectly fine.

BTW if you want a really good preforming VCR look for S-VHS decks those can play VHS tapes with much better picture quality than run of the mill VHS units.
