OK So here's something interesting that this VCR is doing now, I went to plug in the VCR and try it out again just to see what it was doing and sure enough the tape was playing and detecting the proper speed now all of the sudden, but here's the catch its gone back to not putting out any audio or video again, but this time instead of the no audio and video signal issue being just in the VCR part, its also in the tuner part now as well, all I get is a blank black screen, just like before, so here's where the interesting part comes in, it seems that when the VCR is putting out the audio and video signal like its supposed to is when the VCR doesn't play and detect the proper playback speed of the tape, but when the VCR isn't putting out any audio or video signals it detects and plays the tapes at the proper speed...
Any ideas as to what would be causing this rather mind boggling issue?
UPDATE: I just figured out what this VCRs problem is I took the bottom cover off so I could get a look at the bottom circuit board to see if I could find what part was shorted to cause the clock display to malfunction and sure enough I found that C549 had a cold solder joint on the positive lead and a lifted trace and no solder attaching the negative lead to the board, and I did notice that it was a newer capacitor replacement as it doesn't match design wise or brand name wise to the rest of the electrolytic caps on the board. So how would I go about repairing this issue?
