I have a Maxell VHS tape with a lecture recorded in 1992. I tried to play the tape and it played for a minute or so, then it stopped. Now it won't rewind or go forward. I'd like to transfer the contents to a DVD. What can I do?
I work at the History Channel and have a VHS that had the same troubles. I need it desperately for the show I am working on. I tapped it on a table fast forwarded it and presto! Tape fixed, crisis averted. Thank you, Thank you, thank you.
It didnt work for me, it fast forwarded to the end and i did rewind it but the counter/timer still doesnt work and it is just a blue screen? help
Tap tape on table to loosen it up.....
put tape in player.....
press fast forward.....
let it come to the end....
then rewind it.....
press play.....
hope this helped.....
Same problem, but mine still wouldn't fast forward, so I tried rewinding it (with little hope) and wellah! It worked! Thanks for the tip. My tape was one of my children when they were very young!
