Repair Guru's needed...Magnavox ZV427MG9 VCR/DVDr

[RobertP]

I hooked up the 2011 Magnavox VCR/DVD and POOF! Had been working not 2 months before.
Powers on...then immediately off.
Smells like burnt electrical components.
I pulled it all apart and it looks like a transistor burnt/smoked.
Its the DVD side, looks like.
Car battery died that day too.
I know its not the greatest VCR/DVD of all time but it did work OK. I don't use it a ton.
I can solder and pull things apart and usually follow directions.
So what transistor would I need to repair this? Thoughts?

You’d have to have a repair manual with schematic to know the value of the resistor. Maganovox customer service may be able to help. That may or may not fix the problem. For instance – what caused the resistor to burn out?
By the way – what is it about this unit that justifies the high selling prices on ebay?

Magnavox customer service is not going to help him about a VCR, Thy moved away from VHS almost two decades ago, Their current technicians probably don't even know what VHS means.
