Help!
To transfer my old Video8 tapes to digital format I bought a Sony EV-S1000E VCR. I set the time etc and left it on standby overnight and it seemed to want to work. However, this morning there was a heavy rainstorm (so severe it blocked out my Humax satellite receiver signal) and then the wind caused a power outage. The settings on the VCR were lost, of course but when power came back the clock on the VCR was flashing, showing '0.00'. The storm continued so I removed the plug from the power socket to protect this precious piece of kit. Now, when I connect the unit to the power socket the unit seems dead, no lights, no reaction to the remote etc. The handbook states that the problem may be due to it being in timer mode but pressing this button has no effect and the unit appears completely unresponsive, as if it were not connected to the mains. I haven't found any fuses visible to access.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what remedies I may try?
Thanks in advance for any replies and/or suggestions.
