# I phoned 2 shops
who don't come out to do home fixing jobs, and then I got bored. I'll do some more now.

# have you tried the following
"sure-fire" technology repair techniques:

1) Hit it on the top
2) Wave your fists and shout "WORK YOU BASTARD!"
3) Hit the side
4) Repeat step 2
5) If its on, or near the ground, kick it.
6) Hit the top again
7) Repeat step 2

If that doesn't work, take the top off, prod around. Make sure you either cut yourself and/or get an electric shock.

Put the top back on, but don't forget to make sure you have a few screws left over.

# Ha
I always used to get a couple of odd shaped bits of metal left over after fixing the brakes on my car.

# Done all that,
twice, and left a small electric screwdriver inside the casing the second time. Still no play.

# I know!
One might almost think we need to get it fixed by a video-fixing man!

# I had good luck with the fixer.com site
Printed a bunch of info to fix a friend's vcr. After I got the machine I tried it out. It worked fine without using the remote. Turns out the remote had the eject button stuck and every time he used the vcr it kept ejecting the tape! Got a few free beers for doing nothing.
