I need help. I have an old vhs, it is an LG VCR - B148M. I thought it was broken, but tried to plug it in to see if it worked, I plugged it into the TV and the power and it turns on. On television I can see a blue screen, where I can read play, channel 2, but when I play the movie, the image turns off, as if the television no longer recognizes the vhs, now the only thing I can see on television is a signal no signal, but the sound continues. Now if I move forward or backward the TV picks up the signal and some black and white lines appear on the TV. But when I press play, the picture goes off again and the television leaves me with the sign with no signal.
Thanks.
 
Those are symptoms of dirty video heads.
 
I would like to add one more specification. The No Signal sign is from the TV, not the VHS, there is a black HD screen and the TV's own font says No Signal.
 
Yep, still dirty or damaged tape heads.

A wet type head cleaner should fix the problem.

You still get audio because a mono sound track is recorded separately to the video and hifi stereo tracks.
