I have a Tascam 48 and I use a Tascam M-30 board. I haven't "fired" it up for a few months, but when I tried it again, I put a reel on that already had some songs on it, and half the reel was empty. When I went to record the first track, I had a signal on my VU meter, headphones, and the mixer. I went to record and 30 second sound bite and when I played it back, no sound or anything! Even the VU meters on the deck weren't moving. I checked all of my connections and everything is correct, not only am I not getting any sound, but the meters on the deck and the mixer are not moving.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

I have the sync button pushed in and lit up on the deck. I tried a new reel of tape also, but nothing.
Meters bounce when tape is rolling, but when after rewind and hitting play, nothing, no sound or meter bounceing! Yikes! I fear the worst, my Record head is dead!
 
Now that got me to thinking...IF my Record Head was dead, would it still register a signal on the VU's?
