Hello,
I've been given a Saisho VR3650 VCR player to look at. It's not playing tapes, rewinding or fast-forwarding. It also regularly stops responding to the eject command and takes some fiddling about to get it to work again.
I've looked online and see people often mention to clean the mode switch as it often gets dirty and causes problems, so that's what I am starting with. The problem is I don't know if what I am looking at is the mode switch.
I looked around and found what seems to be the mode switch:

Does this look like the mode switch? The ones I've seen on videos I've watched look different, so I am not sure. If it is the mode switch, I am not sure how this gets taken apart. I can remove the black plastic piece at the front. Nothing else seems to want to come off. The black piece at the back does pry up in certain areas, but seems stuck where the white plastic pieces are.
