Hello
Its laser pickup unit should be suspected. Just insert a lens cleaning disc and try to clean it. If it do not help you, the set need service

your fuse is blown in it replace fuse.

my sony dvd vcr combo has a progressive scan flashing light when plugged in. i put a vcr in and now it's stuck. none of the buttons seem to be working. it is making a clicking sound inside on machine. how can i get this thing to work again?

Please format the flash drive in FAT 32 and it will resolve the issue.. The USB drive on the rear of the unit is for BD live purpose..

there is no present fix for this if i remember the hulk has this too the only way around this is to go into menu and turn off the on screen display messages

On the XMB go to Settings ---> BD/DVD Settings ---> BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI). Turn that bad boy off.

Give that a shot.
