Tape door will not go into the compartment - Samsung SC-D107 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

hi,
is it close without a cassette ? if so the reel sensor in the cassette compartment may be faulty. if the head drum not rotates the cassette drive will not work correctly, if so please loosen the head drum with a plastic rod or some tools like that. do not put your finger in hence sometimes will jam your finger. remember don"t touch the scanning chip of the head.

The disc loading mechanism has the fault. Might be a loose or brokent loading belt. Check it.

cassette compartment is not sliding in
