Have you tried exorcism? The good old Bell, Book and Candle routine? Possibly a sledgehammer?

Or have you considered that your VCR deserves its own life? Does it not have a right to do its own thing now and again?

Can you tell I haven't been working on any fics lately? *spams flist with random RL info*
Can you tell that I've been indulging in fandom activities too much recently? *responding to random RL spam with incredibly unhelpful suggestions*

Exorcism... now that's an idea. Completely useless, most likely, but might be fun. I only hope the video recorder won't start vomiting green goo, because that would rather scare me. (It doesn't help that I found 'The Ring' horribly effective.)

Because I feel the need to add my completely worthless suggestion, if it isn't an expensive VCR, I'd try unplugging it, grasping it firmly by the cord, and then swinging it around like hell. Or, on a more helpful note, have you tried seeing if any of the control buttons are stuck?

Swinging it around like hell sounds quite as much fun as the exorcism fleshdress suggested. The buttons seem to be working all right - besides, it completely ignored the remote control, too. It's a mystery.
