Unable to open right cassette door. A tape is locked inside. when 'eject' label on cassette door is pushed there is very little movement, unlike the other side, which depresses slightly and opens.
Firstly: do not think about forcing the cassette door! Look inside the unit. You need to hand rotate the capstan flywheel a bit,( a large-ish metal disc attached to the motor via a rubber drive belt.)That should release the powered deck mechanism and allow ejection. Then buy a new drive belt , so that problem does not recurr. Good Luck

The tape door will not open; nor will the tape play or rewind / wind.
