Camcorder stored for years with cassette stuck in compartment, will not open
Hi,
if you left it without work for a long term, the loading motor may be struck, if so a contact cleaner spray is helpful to start the motor, spry it very carefully on the grove of the loading motor, don't allow the liquid to go on the head, give power, (do not power switch ON), just push the eject button,try several times, then will be OK, if the motor failed, must replace it.

YOUR TAPE MAY BE DAMAGED IF YOU TRY TO OPEN THE CAMCORDER - HOLD EJECT BUTTON DOWN BEFORE ! YOU REATTACH BATTERY THEN READ THE ERROR CODE ? IF IT STILL DOES NOT EJECT .

Bill,
The problem is with the S-reel. Take the tape out, remove the battery, and give it a slight bump. This usually fixes the issue for a couple of weeks. I haven't heard of any permenant fixes. I took my cam into circuit city (before they closed) twice for the same issue. Very frustrating when you don't know what the issue is.

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.
