When I put in a VHS, the power goes off and when I turn it back on, it ejects the tape.

no reset, the infred led inside the unit are bad and need to be replaced common problem, they are located on the ends of the tape mech.

SOURCE: VCR tape loads and runs about 5-10 sec; then ejects

you need to clean the vcr with a cleaner that you can buy at a store. If that doesnt work then you need to take the 4 or 5 skrews out that hold the top on and look at the motor and gears move while you put a tape in and you should spot the problem pretty quick. It'll be with the round metal wheel that turns the tape.

SOURCE: VHS tape will not eject.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, the top cover must be removed. Theis would allow you to:

• manually eject the tape by turning the worn gear/mechanism. The only problem would be slack on the tape causing creases;
• check/replace belt(s).
