Hi there, welcome.
You've posted this in the wrong section, hence no reply. Delete this one and re-post in Workshop.

There are loads of threads about non starting VTRs, mostly due to low battery charge. I wouldn't discount that with yours, even if it's new. Stick it on the charger for 24 hours and see if that helps.

Have a search... sorry I couldn't help.
