E2 error Hi - I have a HS-851 VHS, and have submitted on this model as though it was the closest. I have an E2 error code flashing and was wondering what this is and if it is significant/fatal prob. I see another post with a flashing 2 light, which seemed to be tape ejection related. My partner had trouble removing a tape and finally got it out via repeated use of the eject button. Some force was required by her to retrieve the tape once it became partly available. It is a relatively old Nicam VHS but has been really great (I love the ability to skip adverts). Will probably buy a HDD recorder, but want to be able to play existing videos - so any help is appreciated.

Something might've been broken in the forced tape removal. VCR tape carriage (the cassette unit) assemblies are rather delicate, easily broken, in contrast to the units in early VCRs (from the '80s or early '90s). Use of force in tape removal... can break stuff, or perhaps get the gear timing fouled up. Take the top cover off, look for broken pieces of this assembly. If this assembly has gears on the right side, this obviously means it is gear driven. Timing is set by lining up marks on the gears, in most cases. Setting this might be tricky- service literature will tell you how to set this, and in what mode the marks line up.
