Samsung camcorder keeps saying no tape and ejecting the tape, and eats it up

The only way to find out why it's doing that is to remove the top cover and look for signs of damage. If you can't see any try an old tape and see what happens to it with the top cover off. You will know then.

There is an intermediate rubber roller that keeps the unit from "eating" tapes. When this roller gets dirty or shiny then it slips and the unit will eat tapes. It needs to be cleaned with a q-tip and some alcohol. It runs between the flywheel shaft and the take-up spindle. You should be able to clean it if you take off the bottom cover.

try this unplug and then keep finger on eject and plug back in keeping hold of eject if not work then
UNPLUG and take top off video and you will see were the tape is stuck THERE WILL BE A RUBBER BELT ON ONE SIDE OF MECHANISM TURN COGS THAT BELT ARE ON ( USELY ANT-CLOCK ) takes time you will see parts move towards front of video ( IF NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTION TURNING ) the tape will come out when finished
THEN PLUG IN SO VIDEO CAN RESET MECHANISM

Canon NTSC ZR25 MC Digital video camcorder is eating the tape. I've loaded a new tape and get an "eject tape" message each time. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

When putting in a video the VCR has a tendency eject the tape and then shuts off. Then there are times it works fine. What seems to be the problem?

clean all moving parts

This seams to be the problem, all the time, plus the sound goes off on most of theses camcorders, and the only way they will work is with an boom, mic.

Could I use an tape clearer when it says eject?

The tape can't eject.

1. Remove the two small screws from the tape door face. I show the entire carriage removed.
2. Look for the small metal peg on the left side, about 1” down from the top of the tape carriage.
3. Using something small push down on the peg to release the tape door.
4. Important Note: Most likely the tape will still be wrapped around the video head and held there by two capstans, (one on each side of the head)
5. Carefully pull out the tape not damage it any more than necessary. Keep in mind this might cause the player to “eat” the tape at this area so smooth the tape here with your fingers (nothing metal) and wind the tape to begin playing past this area if possible.
It seems this is a common problem with this unit; Canon should have put a better motor here in this critical area.
Good luck, hope this helps everyone,

try opening the case. then, using your fingers, roll the gear that drives the tape eject mechanism until a full tape eject limit is reached. power up and try
