Tape stuck in VCR, won't eject.

I recorded a program on a tape. The following morning I tried to play it back. I hit Rewind and didn't wait for it to stop and pressed Play. The tape is stuck, won't eject and I'd like to get it out without damaging the VCR unit. Any suggestions?

    The suggestion work fine. The tape was extracted without damage. Now the Tape in indicator continues to flash, without the tape in the unit. The Cassette will not insert as usual. The motor driving the Black rubber belt does not run. How can I check the motor to see if it is defective?
    With the Power on and the Power and VCR/TV indicators lit, I insert the cassette manually (altho it doesn't seat) and the two indicators go out and the tape in indictor begins to flash. Any other suggestions?

    my vcr was playing a video last night I was halfway through when I had to leave the room. I didn't want to miss anything so I tried to eject the tape, but every time I try to eject the tape the VCR just makes some noise and then turns off on its own. I know my dad taught me a trick for getting a tape out of the vcr using only a pen and your hands but i can't remeber what it is. I have tried to remove the tape manually by pressing back on the tape and pulling up, but i can't pull it out.



    HELP ME PLEASE and no electrical sugestions im not an electrician.

    I put a tape in my Video Player last night, and I pressed eject, and it wouldn't eject.

Depending on th einternal design of the vcr. look for the loading/unloading mech, by finding the blak rubber belt that is looped from the motor to a pully. now turn it one way. it may thak 25 to 50 complete rotations of the belt. try turning both ways, one will load & 1 will unlaod. good luck.

    you could put a small dc voltage to the motor, typically 5 to 8volts. the motor should turn one way or the other. but this would not indicate if the motor control ic's in the unit are working.and sorry but i do not know why the indicators are flashing.
