- Here is (the 3rd) Magnavox ZV427MG9-A DVD VCR (this time from Oregon) to be repaired. The customer complained about the power would not stay on, and after a few seconds it would power off again. I found a broken loading arm (plastic) and luckily for this customer I had a donor unit to obtain a replacement parts from now and it loads again. It was in need of a VCR tape path cleaning, DVD optical pickup cleaning, and a high ESR capacitor replacement, and now it is ready to go back to Oregon

Excellent instructional , and especially very helpful to assist in repair of these old players, appreciate very much
Thanks for your tutorial. I noticed the head was not spinning when it was loading the tape even after cleaning the belt. I helped it get started by hand and now the head spins and the deck is functioning well.
Thank you Sr. For awnser my question am looking forward to whatch your next video...
Thank you so much for this!, I was able to repair my old VHS player
Great job as always!!!!! Thanks
Excellent discretion, thank you sir
I got two of those i didn't want to throw away, and my Polaroid combo has a 160 gig hard drive-- its power board filed due to a capacitor.. had fixed once... and am sure it can be fixed. Thanks for the video, checking capacitors. perhaps i can fix it when I have time or money to have it repaired -- its on my things to do list of priorities.. a bit long ... lol . You are amazing as a person in this amazing place called Earth.
Good repair when you have a spare. When you don't there are ways I have made white plastic parts either reattach or make them new entirely. Granted time is of the essence when being paid to repair something, but also irreplaceable items sometimes are worth the extra time and expense. I have used UV curable epoxy (Bondic) to reattach posts, latch tangs, hinge pieces etc. I have also had great success with either reinforcing or even rebuilding a part using CA (super glue) and baking soda along with an accelerant like Zip Kicker for helping cure time. I have reinforced the base of a reattachment of a broken piece as seen here with CA & backing soda with sprays of accelerant. I have built and entire new piece onto the base material by building baking soda up in an over-sized manner and then quickly cutting the excess and shaping the final with the cutting disc on a dremel. Very easy process. Just finished a repair on a broken lid hinge for a MFC printer that someone jacked at an angle and broke at the pivot pin. Looks like the piece was never repaired. Even fairly matches the beige color AND is really quite strong using CA and backing soda with Zip Kicker accelerant. The bracket I repaired holds a heavy spring captive which acts as a lid assist to keep open or lower slowly and the side I repaired where the pivot pin passes through is strong as the original molded half on the other side. If the part is a different color then plastic model paint helps. Also the capacitor find is SO familiar. I too have replaced 1000's of those over the years on so many modern day pieces of the last 20+ years. We know it's not because they are dry from age as with the 60's-80's era stuff we work on it's the crappy knock-offs and poor electrolytic formula's they use to keep $ low. Oh not to forget the undervalued caps that should have been a bit higher value for the circuit they are in. Good work and really enjoy the channel.
The Magnavox repair KING does it AGAIN! :)
Hey old friend. Believe it or not I just finished repairing an almost identical model last night. I found a shorted diode in the power supply. My model number was a ZV457MG9A. One digit off from yours. :-)
GOOD JOB
I found two of these units atop a recycle bin. They both functioned perfectly, so I sold them on eBay.
I have one of these I just purchased at Goodwill. The DVD worked, but when I would put a tape in, it would power off after a few seconds. Then when restarted, it would eject the tape. After watching this video, I decided to remove the cover and check it out. After removing the belt to clean it and the pulleys, I noticed that the belt had a lot of memory in it from the small pulley, But after cleaning and reinstalling the belt, it still wouldn't play. Then I noticed the head wasn't even turning. It was stuck, but freed up when I turned it by hand. After I plugged it back in, the head turned and the taped loaded and played! I noticed that when I would unplug it, the head would spin for a long time before stopping, so it was perfectly free. I'm assuming that the head had just gotten stuck from sitting so long. There wasn't even a speck of dust in inside. The unit and remote looks brand new without a scratch! Not even a smudge or finger print. I have a feeling that somebody had it in storage for a while. It came with the remote and the manual, so I guess I did pretty good now that everything works. I have $10.69 invested in it plus about 15 minutes of time working on it. Thanks for posting this video. It encouraged me to remove the cover and check it out. and luckily was able to get it going. Otherwise, I would have sold it for spare parts!
These contraptions are so complicated , it's a wonder they work so well and that the prices eventually got so low.
Wow , looked like there was a mini snow storm on the optical pickup.
awesome that first step fixed mine, thanks!
I just found out about this channel, been learning a lot from this video, thanks for sharing this amazing repair, subscribed! 😊
I found a DVD LCD tv combo dumped today im shoked that it worked because the inputs had rusted i did nothing for it to work i just plugged it in and it worked
Nice how the hot glue acted as an extra set of hands for you.
You should've removed the auto head cleaner overall. Once these get old, the foam will crumble and could damage the heads.
