Sony SLV-SE820G VCR no front display + button problems

[scotth]

Hi

Can anyone help me my Sony SLV-SE820G is giving me problems after a power cut.

I found some tips on the internet and I've changed C701 and R668/R669 but When I go into the Option Data settings page I cannot get the settings to change. I can move the cursor up/down/left/right and pressing ok changes it to reverse colour but I cannot get any of the numbers to change.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers scotth

the numbers dont change, highlighting them turns them on so if you need 7 11 15 those are the ones that need to be highlighted. it is a common fault and will usually recur unless you also replace ic601 with the updated version.
