I HATE Funai TV/VCR combinations!

Perhaps some electrical tape over the little tape sensor stalk, which is roughly between the two reel hubs?

If I remember correctly, this will work. I remember also taking a VHS tape apart and removing the tape from the reels and using the empty case to "fool" it into allowing the TV to stay powered up.

I was an authorized service center for Funai back in the 90's, and (at that time), they were pretty much garbage.
