I picked up this VCR, and it's newer than anything I usually work on (looks early 90s), but it looks to be a high end model and I'd like to at least try to get it going. I haven't yet checked the obvious, like taking the cover off and seeing if the power cord came loose or if there's a blown fuse. But I was wondering if there was some common cause of this in these units: a voltage regulator, or filter capacitor in the power supply known for going bad and causing this? I figure if it won't power on at all, it might just be a power supply issue that I can actually fix and nothing else that is wrong with this unit.
