Cassette tape broken how to open cassete - Audio Players & Recorders

When you can open it, , try that. First unplug the VCR. Open the device and help the tape to come out. It won't be worth trying to go for a repair of it. Most people are giving away their vcr's or you can buy one second hand for 5 dollar. btw. The tape can be broken, or hooked in the machine. When the tape is removed and it is good, try winding it in the casset, when the content is important to you. To be able to wing the tape, put the cassette up side down end press a pencil in the hole in the middle of the cassette. Then you carefully can turn one of the spools to get the tape in. Try winding both sides, till you see the tape coming in.

Without physically looking at the cassette deck myself, I cannot be 100% sure the tape is wrapped around the pinch roller and capstan. The capstan is the chrome rod which the rubber pinch roller pushes to regulate the speed of the tape moving across the head. However it is approximately a 90% chance the take up reel for the tape stopped working from a bad tape or a loose belt which drives the tape take up reel. The clicking sounds like it could be the auto reverse solenoid because it thinks the tape has reached the end of play. The fun part is to remove the tape which you may have to disassemble the front panel if you cannot gain access to the tape from the top or bottom. You will need to cut the tape and remove it from the capstan and pinch roller to open the cassette door. Sometimes you can remove the capstan to free the tape. Once you have cleaned all the tape out of the unit make sure the belt for the take-up is good. If it is glazed, cracked, loose or broken order a belt. Clean all the pulleys and capstan and replace the belt. Your unit should be functional after the above procedure.

Does it fail on AC power, too? Motors draw a lot of current. Batteries may be weak.

Check to see if the capstain roller is pressing against the capstain. Sometimes they get stuck or something has broke preventing it from pressing on the tape.

Partially open sounds like a mechanical problem with the cassette housing/door assembly. The door usually stays fully open or will not open at all, caused by component failure on the mechanical driver board. Check to make sure nothing is stuck in the mechanism, like a label or a broken piece from a cassette. If the door will move, but will not latch closed, the problem is most likely on th emechanical driver board.

my aiwa brand cassete recorder model : TP-VS485 drive belt is broken, how replaced and where I can find spare parts

Open bottom metal cover. Rotate the belts of the motor. Cassete should unload from Spindle and reel back into the cassette. Then please open the VCR top, and you will see a belt and gearmechanism on the right side of the cassette compartment. Manually rotate the gears and the tape will slowly come out.

Could be a worn out belt? The cassette loads it the drive down too much. Hence why it turns with no tape.

your question is confusing.
