Question about Canon DV-MV830i Mini DV Digital Camcorder
SOURCE: Camera will not insert tape. Mechanism works OK without tape. Sony dcr-hc42
A C31:40 error indicates that the drum (the spinning video head) is either not spinning or is not supplying a signal to the main computer to tell the computer it is spinning. It could be a bad drum or a loose connection. It will likely take a qualified technician to verify the diagnosis.

SOURCE: Cannot insert tape into canon MV800. Always ejects
Hi Everyone,
our MV800 was doing the the same so i "accidentally" dropped it (i got a bit frustrated and it was out of warranty) and now it works fine. please note it dropped about half a meter on carpeted floor while it was off.
Hope this helps

Hi.
My name is Rick and I am the owner and technician of Discount Camera Repair. The problem you are experiencing can be repaired fairly inexpensively but will require disassembly by a qualified technician. The camera will need to be disassembled to remove the tape mechanism and then the tape mechanism will need to be disassembled to repair. If I can be of any help please call or email me and I'll get the camera working for you.

This also happened to me, after having problems with the heads, and power issues. I think it is to do with the heads, possibly condensation.
I have the same problem. It won't retract when I put a cassette in. What can I do?
hey i got the same prob with the camcoder..any help?
same problem, just keeps spitting it back out and saying "remove cassette"
Same problem.
Camera only 2 years old . disgusting.
Cant even accept head cleaning tape.
wont work with old tapes or new. old one was inside camera, and had been sat in there a while. as soon as i turned the camera on, it spat the casst out and refused to take anymore in.
any luck?
I've had this camera for just over 2 years its been hardly used, really annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tape mechanism fine but when i put tape in nothing happens for 5 seconds then remove casette beeps up on screen :( Won't load any cassette.
