Tape door won't open on eject?

I have 5 of these machines and have performed multiple repairs and maintenance on every one. The cassette loading mechanism, due to its complexity on this model, is prone to little pain-in-the-**** problems like that. I "fix" it by slowly and carefully cycling the worm gear (right side) by hand using a dental pick. First, you have to align the tape in the carriage so it will go down all the way, then slowly work it back up and out until you can pull it out of the slot. You may have to manually hold the "front flaps" in to allow the tape to eject.


Then I remove the carriage, which requires you to remove the 3 front panel screws on the top, then pulling the top half of the front panel out enough to clear the tape carriage, because we're going to remove that next. Remove the 6 screws which hold the carriage in, then carefully pull the connector off the carriage board. Set the carriage on a flat surface, and use a 9 volt battery against the motor terminals to activate it. Insert a tape and, while gently pushing the tape in, touch the 9 volt battery to the motor terminals. If the tape goes in and all the way down, the carriage is okay - but try it a few times to be sure. Reverse the battery connections to eject the tape.

Most of the time, this is all you need to do. The carriage on this machine has its moods, and often malfunctions for no apparent reason. Reinstall it (don't forget to plug the connector back in), and you're good to go. If there is an actual problem with the carriage, you'll have to figure out how to fix it, or spend almost $200 on a new one from JVC. Or send it to me and I'll fix it for $50.

JVC BR822 525 cannot be put into tape. There was a recent problem with my JVC822 and JVC 525. Its door put the tape in the doorway, the door could not be opened, the heads would spin for a moment after plugging in and stop. The panel LED display is all 00000 Occasional failure code 04. I consult Chinese library data and show that the pole may be a serious fault or the loaded pole needs to be adjusted. Who has experience? JVC BR822 525 cannot be put into tape.
