Power supply....and...circuit HEAD DRUM...and COLD WELDING (soldadura fria)...in CABLE FLEX CIRCUIT LOAD MOTOR, S-REEL and T-REEL...AND ,CHECK CABLE FLEX ..ALL AND THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD FLEX CABLE GO WHERE.
Wow! a world of answers. I didn't know the video drum had it,s own motor, I was going to say maybe one of the drive belts is loose, because i did see it start to move then stop as if under load of pulling the tape the loose belt slips. Oh well, good luck. VCR,s are sure troublesome when old, thanks, peter
Like, maybe the tape itself was contaminated. Babes sometimes get icky sticky glop onto the tape, then insert whole mess into VCR. Then, head drum gets spooged up with same icky sticky glop, which stalls drum motor. Next, you and/or your babes try another cassette which also gets contaminated, and so on, ad nauseam. If this is the case, you will have to clean VCR heads & tape path. Be sure to clean or dispose all affected tapes. Good luck, babes!
your problem is that you don't have a DVD player. just go to a thrift store and get a new one for $5 since you'll spend that in time and parts fixing that one anyway :P
It looks like the head spinning motor may be fried but FIRST try to turn it by hand (without touching the actual heads, please) and if it's stiff the ball bearings may need lubrication-but don't just try to "shotgun" the problem by using a lot-too much can be as bad as too little. Another possibility is that there's a wiring problem, or possibly a blown fuse-but then there would be other symptoms. VHS machines are inexpensive nowadays so repairs of more complex problems usually aren't worth it.
Unfortunately, most consumer grade VCRs built after 2000 are total junk; regarded by the manufacturer as disposable, with repair part availability being very limited.
As for your problem, you need to be more specific.
Does the whole thing shut down? I can't see if the reels on the tape are moving.
It seems like a weak power supply. But if the reels on the tape are moving, the video drum motor has gone weak/failed. Usually they should be spinning PRIOR to the tape being moved to it.
Are you sure the whole thing shuts down or is it just the VCR's SYSCON detecting an abnormal condition and shutting off to protect itself?
It appears to me that the tape may be threating while taut, causing the tape itself to act as a brake against the upper drum and also jamming the advance mechanism since it doesn't complete the loading cycle as shown with the auto head cleaner not retracting from the head drum when the thing freezes up.
But, unless the problem is simple, it's not worth it.
Yes you can see them, it's the white wheels on the window of the tape. ;) If those move then it's running the tape.
But if you say it goes into standby, the VCRs computer recorded a mode switch fault and shut down to prevent damage. This still "could" be a power supply error, but something could also be failing. Without being there it's hard to diagnose, especially when cameras can't record all the mechanical and electrical sounds a VCR makes.
no one cares about vcr's anymore

what were those black things that came up on the head after the video heads? what was weird, I have never seen it do that before

Tape may be pressed too hard up against the head and stopping it from moving. Try wigging those things (GENTLY!!!!!!!!!!) and see what happens :)

Try your VCR without cassette, to see what happens.

If the tape is tight after it stops, one of the 2 reel brakes is stuck on.

Yes, the whole thing shuts down.
You think it's the power supply for sure?

And, as been said before, it's really hard to diagnose unless the machine was right here where I can check it personally.
