I've got a double deck vcr and I need sechematics . The name of it is, Go Vidio: mdl# GV3030 or GV3020.I tried Service Manuals .net. They don't have it.It won't turn on .Fuse and b+ diodes ok. Custmor said the power went off in the home and when it came back on,every thing else in the home came back on except this unit.I've got power going into the transformer but don't have any thing coming out the other side.Thx,Cecil35.

hey cecil

i had this same problem about a week ago.
if you know something about switching power supplies here goes.
i lost power and when it returned my vcr had no power or display.
i checked the secondary like you and found nothing. when i touched the chopper transistor (collector) with my meter the display and main power came on. when i unplugged the vcr then plugged it back in NO POWER!!. i tried the same test and presto it powered up again. i replaced the chopper transistor and now the vcr works fine(knock on wood). the part# on the transistor was c4161 to give you some idea of what you might see.

if you have any ?s feel free but i feel this will do it.

good luck
