Re[2]: no power on SONY SLV-E700

John Posted Mar 30, 2005, in response to:patje

For the people who keep writing to me requesting electrical drawings, I am sorry I do not have the electrical drawings for the Mitsumi SR526 board. However the most common problem with this board is the capacitors fail and stops the board from working. I solved my power problem by changing the following 2 electrolytic capacitors on the board. The numbers are printed on the reverse of the board but I have check out the picture that will hopefully help you find the right capacitors. My recorder operated from a 240v mains supply so your maybe slightly different. C103 -- 1 u F 100v C204 -- 1 u F 50v picture of location of the capacitors can be found here: http://img225.exs.cx/img225/1595/sr256board6dp.jpg Hope this help some people.

    hi! i had the same problem with my slv-e700, suddenly this summer the vcr didn't get power anymore. so i followed the instructions here and replaced not only the 2 1uf capacitors on the mitsumi board but also the other two (a 1000uf and a 2200uf capacitor). the good news is: power is back and i can switch the vcr on and off. the bad news: everything else is still not working. the display stays dark, beside off the leds of the on/off switch none of the leds is burning and the vcr still doesn't show any function. the jog dial must have got back some function as well, since the typical double beep sounds, if i press "play" or turn it to "forward" or "rewind" - no wonder, there's no cassette in the vcr ;-) - but that's it. what can i do next to try to make my vcr working again? :-( steffen

    John, I have had a dead SONY SLV-E700 in the cupboard for a few years now. It suffered from the same start-up problems described in this thread. I happened to see your reply about the faulty 1uF capacitors, complete with picture, and decided to have a go at reviving it. Having stripped the video down I measured the values of the 2 capacitors. One was 0.4uF and the other was completely dead. Replacing them with new ones from Maplin has done the trick, and we are now a 2 video family once more. Many thanks for taking the time to post the solution, for the benfit of others. Best regards, Chris
