Problem for Canon ES50 8mm Analog Camcorder
Tape won't load
Hi we have tried to load a tape but all it does is eject the tape. if we take the tape out of the thingy that you put the tape in it does close properly. what's the matter?
Same Problem
Nov 24, 2008
- Hi I have a simular problem. Ive just ejected a tape to put another one in and I then closed the case and waited for the tape to go down and load and ..nothing!! The wheels are not spinning there is absolutly nothing and when i eject the tape a little of the tape has come out and is slightly creased!! It was taping fine until I went to change the tape. Any ideas???- jordan24xApr 29, 2008
- Mine did the same thing as I think it's more mechanical than sensor. Empty, it will close no problem and the head does not spin. Tape inserted, head spins(you can hear a whirring noise that was not there empty-that's the head) and it pops open saying EJECT THE TAPE. I closed the tape, tapped briskly on the part sticking out that saysDO NOT PUSH HERE...tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. It went in then spit it out. I did it again and presto what sounded like against it's will, it went in and now i'm using it. Hope this helps. Do not push on the part labeled, just take first three fingers together and tap medium hard.- ZippyZapperApr 03, 2008
- My Canon ZR 200 has a similar problem. Everything was going along just fine and all of the sudden it tells me to remove the tape. You can remove it, try again, and the same thing happens. I tried a new tape and the same thing happened. I tried a head cleaning tape and it said "erasure prevention device - remove." It will close with no tape in it but will not allow you to record on a tape - it just wants it ejected. Any ideas? - doylebgDec 29, 2007
- I have the same problem, I called the toll free number and Canon advised me to send it to them for repair. The tech on the phone told me "it sounds like the Dew Sensor was activated and we need to reset it"Do you know how to reset this? Or is there anything I can do at home to fix this problem versus sending my Canon ES65A in for service?
Thanks for any advice you can provide!!!- Dj Steveo

probobly some problem withthe load motor/
The first thing to look for is to see if the heads are spinning - or at
least see if they
*try* to spin, because unless they *are* spinning the tape will never load.
Also, the heads *shouldn't* be spinning with no tape inserted - if they are
then
this suggests that the dew sensor has been activated (the heads are made to
spin under this
condition in an attempt to dry things out).
If this gives no clues, the next step would probably be to dismantle the
thing and attempt to load a tape
by hand (looking for signs of jamming mechanism, etc.
Anything more serious than this is one for the workshop

I also had this problem with a Canon ZR200. The tape would not load, but if it had no tape, it would retract fine. I fixed it by removing both the main battery and the little watch battery. Once I did that, I assume it reset or lost whatever data it was hung up on. (Like rebooting a computer) Then I just put the batteries back in and then the tape would load again. All fixed!
Hope this helps the next person. Good Luck!
