Problem for Canon Elura 100 Mini DV Digital Camcorder
Remove tape error message
Every time I try to put a tape in my camcorder it beeps and tells me to remove the tape. This thing doesn't even have ten hours on it. I am very frustrated and would love any suggestions you could make. It seems like this is a common problem that, hopefully has a common solution.
Thanks

- same problem. It's not the tape because I've tried old ones that I know used to work and a brand new tape. Keep getting the beeeeep. "Remove cassette" message in RED on the blue screen. It isn't moisture. What else can I try???- GuestSolution #1

- Condensation is detected – If condensation is detected by the camcorder, the “Remove the Cassette” warning may occur.
- Component failure – If an electrical or mechanical component in the camcorder fails, the safety mode may activate to prevent any further damage to the camcorder.
- Sand or grit damage – The camcorder’s tape drive mechanism consists of many tiny gears. Sand or grit can cause a gear to jam and stop turning. This will cause the camcorder's safety mode to activate.
- Impact damage – If a camcorder is accidentally dropped or bumped against a hard surface, it is possible that a misalignment of the tape drive mechanism may occur.
- Liquid damage – If either the camcorder or the tape is exposed to water or any other liquid, a variety of malfunctions may result. Please avoid this situation.
- Improper videotape insertion – If a tape is forced into the cassette compartment, or if the cassette compartment is pressed down while the tape is loading, damage may occur to the tape drive mechanism. Please refer to the User's Manual.
- Damaged or defective tape – If a tape becomes damaged, please discontinue its use.
Depending on the conditions that caused this message to appear, it is possible that the camcorder operation may recover. Please follow these steps:
- Eject the videotape
Insert a new or known good videotape. If the message does not persist, it is possible that the tape was damaged. If the camcorder still displays the message with a new tape, please proceed to step 2. - If condensation had been detected causing the Remove the Cassette warning, remove the cassette, and allow at least one hour for the moisture to dry.

Canon Elura 100 - first got beep sound 'remove the cassette' message and once removed and tried to put the cassette - its frustrating - not accepting
the tape and rejects immediately after a long gear sound....
Tried with other tapes - no hope.
Pls guide me if anyone solved the problem.
note:just left open camcorder for some time(1 day) to dry the moisture if any - no positive result.

After inserting a tape and closing the door the camera appears to try to access the tape and then fails with the remove tape message in RED - looks like the mechanism may be trying to pretension and jamming for some reason - Have tried with many tapes (old and new).
Would really like to find a fix since this was one of my best performing cameras I've owned.

The camcorder will not accept the tape... even a brand new one. It says "Remove Tape". Help! The product is one year old and barely used.
