Mend Sony SLV-X711AS Vcr Cassette

vcr sony has no power?

my SONY vcr model SLV-X711AS when I switched it there was no power, I took the top of and found a gecko had got inside and it was sapped, I removed it and replaced the fuse(although the old fuse was ok) when I turn the power on now I can hear a noise when the ac lead is connected(very slight) but no joy when I push the on/standby switch, does it have an overload switch or something similar.

Faulty power supply. Check out the power supply section - it is in its own cage at the back where the mains comes in. Start with the three-terminal regulators (5V, 12V etc). Also check no faulty bridge diodes. Also check big capacitors. If there is wetness on the PCB, replace associated capacitor/s.
