I haven't had the delightful experience of working on one of these combo
units with DVD, but have repaired a few of the TV/VCR types.
My approach would be to confirm that any power supply sources (any that are
labeled) are present, then to focus my attention on the VCR.
I suspect the unit in normal operating condition (when empty) would normally
power up when a cassette is inserted, as an auto-on/power-up feature.
Confirming that the sensor light source is present, and possibly verifying
that the sensors are changing states would be a basic check.
The mechanical parts should be closely inspected, and a check of freedom of
motion of the various parts to see that a forign object hasn't caused some
interruption and/or damage.
It's not likely that the mode switch is easily accessible, or that it can be
tested without a service manual. I generally try to avoid a
tear-down/disassembly to get a mode switch out.. instead, I try to get a
couple of drops of DeoxIT to creep into the switch to see if this will
change any of the symptoms (after cycling the mech thru a couple of loading
functions).
I'm in about the same place as you, it seems.. out of the biz for a few
years, but unable to avoid the challenge of repairs. It's good exercise for
my feeble grey matter.
Funai was decent at providing parts info and service literature years ago,
don't know about now though.
Cheers
