Hey all... I was wondering if someone could give me some help..
Just moved into a new place and the old resident left a Sylvania TV/VCR combo. Unfotunetly, the other day a tape was put in the VCR part and now it blatantly refuses to come out. If the Power button is pressed, the TV comes on for about 5 seconds, only to turn itself off. Me and my roomates are unsure as to what we can do to solve the problem, so any help wuld be appreciated!

Sounds like the loading motor belts on the vcr are bad. You will need to remove the back cover off the the television to access the vcr. Post back when you have done this.
