Help! Television problem..UPDATE!

[C.Ann]

Anyone know anything about tv repair? I have a 13" tv with a built-in VCR here at the lake.. In order for the television to stay on when you turn it on, the tape has to eject first and I seem to have a tape stuck in there.. I keep pushing the eject button (for the 30 seconds or so that the tv will stay on) but the darn tape won't eject..

I'm not crazy about being here for another 2 weeks without a tv (mostly for the "noise") but I'm not about to run out and buy another one this late in the season either..

Anyone know how I can get that darn tape out of there?

Thanks!

I fixed it!! Smacked it around a few times, gave it a couple of shakes and finally got the tape to eject.. Looks like I won't be using the VCR part of it again, but it sure beats having no television up here at all..

I am not sure about a combo, but when the tape gets stuck in the VCR I usually have to take the top off. The tape is usually wound around something.

If it was me I would have to go out and get another TV, even if it was only the 5" black and white one
