I just got this VCR for $15 because I saw it was listed for parts as it wouldn't accept tapes and I thought it would be easy to fix. When I took it home it powers on but flashes an "auto" evey 5 secs it also doesn't seem to respond to button presses I tryed googling the problem but I get a very of different results and youtube doesn't seem to help either.

It's a JVC SR-TS1U (I can't find may videos or information about it and I don't want to take it apart because I can't find a service manual)
