Sometimes the tape is stuck on the head . Open the door and try to pry off the tape from the head with a thin instrument . Power up the unit and usually it spits out the cass. This worked for me many times.

I have a Sony DCR-TRV250 Digital Handycam Camcorder. Currently a tape is stuck in it and the camcorder won't eject it. The tape unit comes out but won't open.

I got the tape to eject by removing the battery from the camcorder, putting it back on so that the tape would go back inside the camera. Then I had the tape eject again. Several times the tape would not be ejected but I repeated my steps until the camera released the tape.

Tape jammed in jvc camcorder

The way I can get a tape unjammed on my Sony camera is to remove the battery, plug the camera into the AC charger that is plugged into the wall outlet. Then power the camera on, wait a few seconds. Then unplug the charger from the outlet, wait a few more seconds (camera still in "on" position) and then plug it back in. I have used this method at least 3 times to get the camera to release the tape.

I can't get my tape out- The door tries to open but it appears jammed...any help?

More likely the loading gears are damaged. When you open the outer door and the latch triggers the motor to release the tape compartment. When the gears are not in good condition, it will move up partially or none at all. The remedy is repairing loading gear mechanism. You will have to rely on your local camcorder repair technician for this job. -James. For further assistance by email, go to www.camerarepairjapan.com

Will not close while tape is in ejecter,alarm beeps and screen says (remove cassete), but will however close without tape??? canon mv830i digital camcorder...

Several things could be happening...the tape is backwards, upside down, inverted or just wrong type since it closes without it. Next check to see on the inside if something is jamming the tape. While it closes without a tape there could be something that jams when a tape is inserted.

Stuck tape in camcorder

I had a similar problem with an older panasonic camera. Mybe you have tried this, but opening the door and pushing up on the tape. Push in and use enough force but don't try to break it. Try pressing different spots. Sooner or later the motor might start moving it up. Just a though, it worked for me.

DCR TRV320

That is the "LOAD" error code.

However, to service the C:31 code, Sony recommends you do the following:

Turn off the camcorder.
Remove the battery or disconnect the AC power adapter for 60 seconds.
Insert the battery or reconnect the AC adapter.
Turn on the camcorder.
If the error message appears, service may be required.

If your camcorder still shows the same error code, then you'll have to send in your camcorder for service.

Tape stuck!!

The tape is jammed. You can try to forcibly remove it your self but you may end up causing more damage to the tape carrier. Take it to a repair shop where they have the tools to remove it correctly.
