Chances are a rubber belt in the machine has went bad. It was going bad when
you used the machine months ago since the belt couldn't supply enough
friction for tapes to rewind which is a common early sympton, but now it has
lost even more friction. Now the VCR senses a major problem in the tape
transport due to a malfunctioning belt and shuts down automatically. It's
easy to replace VCR belts. There should be about 4 screws securing the top
cover. Make sure the AC cord is unplugged, remove the cover and look for
rubber belts. Sometimes belts are located on the bottom sides of VCRs, so
you may need to remove a few screws to remove the bottom metal plate. Some
belts are so small you can use O rings found at most home improvement stores
for a few cents each. If it's larger, you can try using a rubber band. A
rubber band fix may not last permanently, but it will get you by and you'll
know how to replace it again if necessary. Good luck.
