I just purchased a supposedly "refurbished dual deck vcr" and found when I received that the decks doors won't open. I can force them with my fingers but they will not accept the tapes, I get "error" and then I pull them out. Everything else works fine. The doors seem stuck, then when I force them open they will open fine when I try them but as soon as I try to insert a tape they seem to just stop. help!
It seems they didnt refirbish it, you should return it..
If for some reason you cant return it.
The problem is your carriage unit is damaged
The carriage unit is the parts that load the tape into the vcr
If you think you are able you can open it up and look if any springs have fallen out. If not then change the unit.
If you cant fix it your self a technician can easily do it for you since it isnt that hard and somplicated to repair, you just need good retainence
