>From your description it sounds like the tape is obviously not moving past
the heads..... a possible problem with the pinch roller, load arm, capstan
motor, take-up reel brake, etc, etc. Also, since the VCR ejects the tape
when pressing the record button I would suspect either the tape has the
record protect tab broken out or the VCR record safety switch in
defective.... or?
This is not a particularly easy problem for an inexperience novice to
troubleshoot and repair but if you wish to research this further you should
go to the website for this newsgroup at
http://www.repairfaq.org/
There, with some searching and reading you will find a lot of useful
information.
I would really suggest that if after reading through the repairfaq that you
are still not certain how to proceed that you should take your VCR to a
service shop for at the very least a repair cost estimate so you can make an
intelligent repair decision with facts instead of guesses.
