I have the exact same problem with my SV-3800.
I took it twice to a repair person. Each time it worked for about an hour.

They then told me I would need to replace the whole drive for about 400
bucks. It seems like a waste of money for a format that is becoming
obsolete.
But I hate having this 900 dollar machine sitting around doing nothing.

So, send it to Eddie Ciletti or someone else who can actually fix these
things
and who will do a serious burn-in to make sure they are actually fixed.

I've had decent results on my 3900's from NXT Generation.

The Tascam stuff I send back to TASCAM. They don't fix it right the first time,
but pay for express shipment both ways on the return.
