Machine just shut off when opening the cassette door. Locked up!!

just replace the battery

Hi,

I believe this means that there is condensation in the tape mechanism.

Lock each door with the lock button on the door. Then recharge or get a new battery

If the battery is under the back seat like some models, charge battery.

We had a problem with the sliding door jammed solid halfway open. (2006 Toyota Noah) I was reluctant to force it too much in case I broke something. It was the rear hinge (with cable pulleys etc on it) that was stuck. I watched all the utube videos and thought it was probably a frayed or broken cable so pulled the inside door panel off but everything looked OK.
What next? I got a bit more brutal and managed to shove the door shut. It freed up a bit so I squirted a heap of CRC all around the hinge and along the track, and with the button set to 'manual' slid the door back and forth until it felt a lot freer. Put the button back to 'auto' and everything worked perfectly. Yay! I thought, and put the panel etc back on and tried it again. My grin disappeared when it shut and locked shut and wouldn't open no matter what I tried. I tried the other side door and that went out in sympathy and just beeped and wouldn't open either. I thought maybe the battery was getting too flat to make the doors work so tried to start the engine to charge it up. Had to jump start it as the battery WAS flat, and left it running for a while to charge the battery. That fixed the other door but the 'locked' one still wouldn't open. After a lot of ineffective prodding and poking behind the plastic door handle cover (which I couldn't take off properly as the screws are hidden when the door's shut) I gave up in disgust for the night. Next morning I gave the door a good tug as soon as it tried to automatically open and to my surprise and delight it opened! Then I sprayed a heap more CRC on every moving part and track and bingo! It's working perfectly again.
In hindsight I wasted a lot of time as I was mislead to think there was a blown fuse or burnt out motor or something equally serious as the door seem to get the sulks after a few failed tries and shut down completely - not even beeping.
Good luck!

Thats an interruption of the ejection process, either you push it, you were on low battery, the energy was interrupted or you leave the camera in a car and th heat/cold affects it. Try to cheat/reset the camera system: Remove the clock cell, remove the battery or ac/cord at the same time you push the eject button once. Wait for an hour. Place the clock battery. Connect the AC/Charger cord or the battery (it MUST be completely charged). The camera will reset, check out and complete the ejection.

I had the same problem. I hope you have a battery charger. The many older batteries I have needed charging, but they wouldn't hold a charge when I tried to charge them with the battery charger. My batteries were the kind that had a memory, and I guess that the battery memories are dead. So, I saw that I had a double ended power cord that came with my camera. I took the battery out of the camera and saw a power-in hole. I just tried connecting the double ended power cord to the camera and to a power hole I found on the battery charger. It worked and gave power to the camera. It did not explode. I could not find a manual on any of the many websites. I think that the camera I bought (Panasonic Palmcorder IQ PV-IQ403) doesn't exist in the available manuals. Maybe you can find a double ended power cord and a battery charger on line or in a store.

The following information might be useful to others. The camera cassette door will not open without having the power on to the camera. The camera connects to a TV with RCA cords.

My camera power switch has 2 settings. Use the camera setting to use the camera to record and see what you are recording displayed on the TV. You must change the power switch to the VCR setting in order to play back the recording and see it on the TV. Change the switch back again to use the camera. (You can also see the playback through the viewfinder.)

My camera has a remote control which is stored in a slot. I found that the battery is in a tiny sliding door. I had to use a screwdriver to gently dislodge it from the case, my fingernail was not strong enough. The movable tab had to be pushed inward to release the catch. The coin battery was not corroded.

In order to play a VHS-C tape, you must have a VHS PlayPak. The cassette door will not open unless you have a battery loaded into the cassette. When the door opens, you can insert the VHS-C tape into the opening. The VHS PlayPak holder is the same size as a regular VHS tape. It can be found on-line.

in the case of my T23 laptop. when i plug in the ac adapter the battery will charge but when i turn on the power button. It won't boot and will shut off eventually. cant you help me with this

When you install a new battery and remove a battery always make sure the laptop is completely shut off and have the power cord removed so that you avoid any possible power surge.

Batteries generally don't last much longer than a year and I have found removing the power cord or battery when it is off to be a good practice.

Before you charge a battery make sure it is run most all the way down. Recharging a battery when it is not run down can give it a memory and you may only be able to charge it up to the point you started charging it.

Anyway, if the computer won't charge a new battery then you could have a bad motherboard. To be sure try another battery.

un plug the power cord and let it sit for a while,then plug it in.
