On the funai, if the IR diodes can be tricked into thinking there is no tape present, it may give an all clear. They go into a conductive state from the IR transmitter diode on the board and prism arrangement when there is no tape. I would try shorting the two receiver diodes and that may trick it. I found a 13 inch last week in the street with it's remote and a sign "works". I took it home and... it works! Tape and all.
The one that could be a bear (impossible) to modify may be the DVD version. On the sets that give me too much trouble I have the phone # of a scrapper. He gives them their "last ride".
