Toshiba VHS/DVD Combi Turns On And Shuts Down | Turned out to be an easy fix | UK eBay Reseller

- We bought an auction lot that contained a Toshiba VHS to DVD combi unit DVD-DVR20.
We turned it on to test it but when we turned it on it shuts down after a few seconds. This ended up being a long video as I read that a diode could be the problem but in the end it just turned out to be dirt.

You're my saviour! I've been trying to get mine working for ages. Lots of different causes can lead to this shut-down but mine was just a dirty LED.
I think it was great you left in the video what didn't work. Our failures actually help us find the right solution. Great video, awesome job! 👌
Thank you, I appreciate your comment. 👍
I could watch these videos all day long . Proper blokes repair videos ..Nice.
Thanks
This video helped finally fix my DVR 620!!! After several hours and RUclips videos, I came across this video, and I was going thru the same issue with the machine shutting down after attempting to play a VHS tape. It was still shutting down after disassembly and cleaning of the mode switch, like what happened to you in the video. 😡Cleaning the little LED piece finally fixed it ("lightpipe", I think you called it)!
Funny how such a small piece can cause so much trouble! Like yours, it wasn't even very dirty as far as I could see - maybe a small bit of dust on the part that goes over that little black gear. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you very much for this video!
Can't thank you enough. Fix allowed me to watch old VHS video of my kids. Bizarre fix! Many Thanks again.
Thank you. That's great you got it working and yes very bizarre.
Cool, another repair channel ! The more the better !
Some great explanations and descriptions here, very handy video.
Need to get you in the next My Mate Vince collab, boost that audience.
Wow so impressed with your patience mate !
Lol thank you.
Thanks for this, did the exact same thing as you, checked diode, cleaned mode switch but still shutting down after a few seconds. Watched your vid, cleaned the light thing and hurrah all working. My combi was the higher version with a HDD but practically the same otherwise.
So a big thank you
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You should do a how to fix the flash bulb on a Sony a330 camera. Because.... okay I have bought one and I thought for sure it'd be a quick settings reset or firmware update, but its actually the bulb. Doesn't look complicated but nothing really does until it goes sideways.
Also its good you are back, hope this lockdown thing isn't causing too much trouble on the home front, been seeing too many people rubbing each other the wrong way due to being home with each other 24/7 for weeks.
Thank you! Dirty diodes for the win!
Fix 3 solved it for me! Done 5 tapes already, all worked great. Picture clarity on this unit is unparalleled, for both composite and hdmi. Note use
480 composite for copied VHS tapes. Upscaling 480 to 1080 doesn't look the best. Higher resolutions for DVD. Thanks again for the fix!
I'm glad this has helped you and you got it working again. Yes the picture quality is amazing on these.
Used to be our bread and butter repairing videos in and out of the workshop I still do videos hi-fi TVs CD keep up the good work and keep these machines working not like the junk they make today
Finally someone that understands instead of all the comments asking why people would want to buy these machines and think they're ancient junk. I'll keep trying to fix them as long as people keep buying them. 👍
Amazing, thanks for your help sorted mine with a quick wipe too.
Excellent 👍
Thanks for sharing this - I have the "pleasure" of trying to fix one of these at a Repair Café this weekend in very short time frame so all your tips have been super helpful - I'm hoping from the description I have that it's as simple as this one but it's given me a few pointers 👍
I hope it is a nice easy one for you and I'm glad this has given you some tips. Please let me know how you get on.
@@RetroElectronicRepair well that was over an hour of my life I won't get back 😆 but I went straight in with cleaning the light lens - the owners (sat there reading a bible - maybe hoping for divine intervention 🙄) weren't really able to say what the issue was other than it 'stopped playing' - I couldn't see any weirdness initially, the DVD side seemed fine, but the VHS was sometimes doing odd things but loading and playing okay for the most part. I also tried cleaning the rotary switch underneath as you did and then feared I'd made things worse as it wouldn't then load the tape 🤦♂ but I think it was the door catching on the front lever - so put it all back together and the SCART output (yah don't ask me why they were using that over the HDMI) went dark though the lower one seemed fine, not sure what happened there - I suggested they take it away and connect via HDMI and keep an eye on any weirdness - it was all pretty clean inside and didn't exhibit anything odd beyond that 🤷♂
So hard to say what was wrong with that one then. The scart sockets are 1 for input and one for output to tv, that's maybe why one gave you a blank screen. But yes they should hook up the HDMI it will be a much better picture.
@@RetroElectronicRepair yes it's weird, the top SCART was for the output and was working okay until the lid went on and then it went dark - it's as if the luminance part of the composite went missing, the lower one for the input worked fine, so they are still connected internally - anecdotally this has always been the case with VCRs in my experience - it's also weird seeing such a grainy 240 line image having been used to 576, 720, 1080 and more recently 4K 😂
nice fix good info for others
Thanks for putting this up - seems like too much trouble for me so will probable skip it - sad to say I have a Video that I recorded from MTV Germany & German VIVA that it gobbled up.
Hello and thanks for this great video!
I'm experiencing the same issue.
The switch mode is completely out of order (the 3 copper pins are twisted and it is not possible to put them back in correct position).
So would you please let me know if someone in this world sells this component?
In the service manual from Toshiba it is identified as SW507. But they don't give the part ref.
Thanks again!!!
Best regards.
This video is awesome. I tried cleaning up the light sensor with some rubbing alcohol first this didnt resolve it for me. I had to clean up the mode switch as this was covered in grease from the goons at the factory during assembly must have made its way in. I reset the white plastic dial to its home position as indicated on the circuit board then wound the locating cog above using the runners on the side. Following re-assembly it all worked just make sure you plug in all ribbon cables again securely as i missed one and it stopped working completely! Nice work man resolved the issue with the same model KB version. I think the resistor part isn’t the issue with most. Try fix 2 and 3 before doing this! My symptoms were that the machine turned off after you inserted a tape
Glad you got this one fixed. The mode switch does have a small amount of grease on the lid so the plastic doesn't stick but over time I think some gets on the contacts.
A little dielectric grease on the mode switch will keep the contacts from oxidizing and that sensor which that light shines on should be wiped off too.
Thanks for watching and the information. 👍
Brilliant! This advice fixed my problem on 2(!) Identical toshiba dvr 19dt! The first one works like a charm now. The second one works but vhs side loads the cassette and ejects it straight away.. will try to clean mod switch which is a bit of the pain according to this video.. will also check belts. what else should I investigate? Thanks anyway for the great video!
Nice! I'm glad my video helped you out. Thanks for commenting.
I had exactly same failure on my device with the 3 in 1 Funai TD6D-D4413DB VCR/DVD/HDD Recorder (exactly the same build like this Toshiba 2 in 1 Recorder. I also cleaned this light emitting plastic in the middle and the problem is fixed. I think the manufacturer should add a anti dust filter to the fan and to the chassis to prevent any dust to build in inside this device I bought a dust filter and build it inside the fan (and the chassis and now my device is cooling and also preventing any dust to go inside. It it now working for more than 5 years without any problems. But like I said even this Toshiba branded VCR DVD Recorder is engineered and build from Funai Electronics and only rebranded as Toshiba.
Yes, I've only ever had this problem with Funai/Toshiba. Never seen it happen on any other manufacturer.
Nice to see more videos.
No puns intended.
Lol thank you
Thanks so much for this! Ours had the exact same symptoms, and just wiping the dust off the clear plastic part did the trick.
I'm so glad it helped you to get yours working. 👍
@@RetroElectronicRepair Same here. All fixed. T-Y !!!
Nice one. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Same here!! Got this for $5 at Goodwill because it had been returned and was able to fix it in about 10 minutes thanks to this video! Many thanks!!
Not sure if it's a permanent fix but so far so good, thank you 👍
It is a permanent fix until the dust will block the sensor again. this Funai/Toshiba devices should have a build in dust protection shield but the manufacturers didn't build it in so for me it is a small engineering failure, or maybe they did it on purpose for faster malfunction and sadly to throw away the unit 😞
THANKS! you helped me so much, but I solved replacing the 266ohm polarization resistor of the IR LED with a 220 ohm one, more light less errors
I would have gone straight to the power supply too. Thanks for that will start on mine now.Seems barmy that little light switches turns the whole machine off mind.
Yes, it's the only one I've come across that will shut down the whole system because it can't recognise the tape is moving. Crazy!
Cheers dude. Have same model/ problem. Picked it up for a tenner mint with remote. Still had the film on it... hopefully will get same outcome. I know where to start!
Let's hope it's as simple as this one.
Follow up, took top off, cleaned the light pillar. No go. Cleaned again. Nothing. Put the top cover back on and worked fine instantly. The light pillar must be sensitive to light pollution. Took cover off, failed again. Put back on and fine again so confirmed the light pollution theory. Drum was a little stiff but freed just by turning manually. Cheers buddy!
Hmm, I will have to watch this in a few weeks when I sort my one out, I have the kb version with the same problem! Definately want it on eBay soon.
I hope it helps you with yours 👍
Thanks , I had the same problem and this sorted it 👍
Thanks for watching, I'm so glad it helped you to get your working.
I was ready to bin it , only put 5 vhs cassettes through it and it started to shut down , hard to believe it was that simple to fix but a big thumbs up 👍 for your help , liked and subscribed 👍
Great vid thank you, just a quicky, there seems to be another sensor on the side near the pick up drum that the tape runs by it, would you know what that is
Do you mean on the left tape guide arm that moves the tape to the drum? Without looking at the video I think that is the erase head.
I had an issue where the unit worked fine for dvd. VHS would play for a few seconds then enters shut down with a message displayed ‘saving settings’. Cleaning the clear plastic thingy has so far resolved this power down issue for my DVR19DT. Thank you!
I also have a RDXV59DT which gives a ‘disc read error’, I know it’s not the drive or laser etc as both units share the disc drive assembly part and I’ve tested it by fitting into the DVR19DT it read discs fine.
Any advise on what to check next in RDXV59DT? I suspect there is a board/chip/cap which has failed somewhere. Will continue searching forums for an answer.
Seems a lot of people have this error. I'm not sure about the dvd not playing, I've not come across that before so not sure what it could be.
Excellent video .. i have a Sony VHS that nead help ... i know longer live in the UK .. i just subscribed .. wish you well
that bring back the old days of cleaning or fixing vhs 90% of them work ok after a good clean.
Yeah and people still just throw these away because a bit of dirt has stopped it working. There's still some good money to be made on these old units.
hi my DVR20KB keeps clicking on and off can't get tape out to clean light pipe. are you saying by cleaning the light pipe it would/could stop the clicking and would turn on and work. any help would be appreciated. many thanks nigel.
Isn't that model the toshiba DVD to VHS combi? If it is and it's just clicking on and off it will be bad capacitors in the power supply. It's probably similar to this video ruclips.net/video/O1Hlm8gxF6o/видео.htmlsi=UgaKWSdVsbdYbfNZ
than you
Great video on vcrs vhs proven they continue playing when they are damage blue Ray's proven they don't play at all yet inernet proven it locks up in time yet those vhs tapes proven they fixbel with scotch tape it starts playing again VHS prove they still better then the internet Plus blue Ray's when does vhs locks up never your video is great keep up the good work
Thank you
Your welcome
Recently sold one of these that was working fine when it left me……. Buyer received and said it is shutting down as your was when playing vhs!! Waiting for it to be returned……. Was wondering if they had used a mouldy cassette or something to cause it……. Not confident enough to look at the mode switch I don’t think but definitely they light bar looks simple….. great video
It is hopefully only that light pipe. Give it a good clean when it's back and fingers crossed it will work again. Also give the sensors on either side a little clean to, I'm sure I showed them on the video, as they read the light which tells the machine a VHS is playing.
@@RetroElectronicRepair yes you did show them….. keep up the good work and thanks for the reply
You're welcome. I hope you get it working again.
@@RetroElectronicRepair it’s just arrived back with me so I’ll give it a go shortly…… will keep you updated 👍🏻🤞
Yes, please let me know how you get on
What do I do if the VHS is stuck in vcr and I can't get to the light pipe?
If it turns on for a moment the you should be able to constantly hit the eject button and it might eject. Otherwise it depends on the model, some have a cog on the side on the tape mechanism that you can turn to release the tape. On some others you will need to remove the whole tape deck to get to the cogs underneath to manually rotate them and eject the tape. I hope this helps.
@@RetroElectronicRepair thank you sir
Have bought a VHS video recorder from car boot but it has a password that needs inputting which I don't have. Any ideas on how I can reset please without knowing the original password? Any help appreciated. Thanks
Have you tried the default of 0000 or 1234? I've not had to bypass one yet so don't know how to reset it.
@@RetroElectronicRepair thanks for the quick reply. Will try the numbers you have suggested. Would be a shame if I can't get access as the video recorder as it is in mint looking condition and has remote control with it too. All seems to work switch on ok but I can't get passed the password. I might try and see if there is an onboard battery I could take out and put back that might do the trick if the default numbers don't work. Again thanks for your response and suggestions. Kindest regards.
@@isakisak7310 there is usually jumper pins on the pcb marked "prst" or "reset" or something to that effect
@@mzimasprings3217 brilliant. Thanks for that. I will check it out and see if that works. Much appreciated. Kind regards.
Clean the sensor underneath the black gear stick a q tip in the little hhole and clean it. It will solve your problem
Did you not see that I cleaned the light pipe and fixed it? It's not a sensor under there, it's a light.
@@RetroElectronicRepair nope it a sensor under the black gear u have to take the gear off to clean it
Ah ok. Not on this one though, it was a dirty light pipe that a light shines through that the photo sensors on either side of the tape sense. You'll see if you watch it all.
Thank you so much
What a stupid design. The whole unit shuts down just because of a bit of dirt in the light pipe and crappy mode switch, which has nothing to do with the DVD or HDD functions. I have one of these with the same powering on/off symptom so i'll definitely clean the mode switch and light pipe. I won't put any new grease on the mode switch. I'll also replace D1150 with a 3A schottky or ultrafast diode. If they hadn't used so much grease on/in mode switch in the first place it wouldn't attract dust.
Yes I agree, thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your work with everyone very brilliantly done on your part very brilliantly explained and done thank you Tcozier
