Hi, I hope I am posting this in the right forum.
I am having a problem with my DVD/VHS combo recorder unit. It is a JVC model DR-MV100B. My unit is 6 years old (relatively young, IMO...I plunk down $200 for a device like this, I would hope for it to last a bit longer). At that age, it's, of course, no longer under warranty. Normally, when you turn the unit on, it says "HELLO" on the display for, around, 30 seconds while it boots up. Boot up completes, and it is ready to use. Now, for some reason, it is failing to, fully, power up. I'm pressing the power button, it switches on, says "HELLO" on the display. Then, after at least 30 seconds, it shuts itself off, never completing the boot-up process. I have tried resetting the unit per the manufacturer's instructions as well as unplugging it for a short while, then, plugging it in again and trying to power up. The problem still persists. Can anyone suggest what the issue might be? Thanks.
