Sony Handycam CCD-TR64 cassette door won't close

Sony Handycam CCD-TRV58 Hi-8 Analog Camcorder
1. Per the manual on esupport.sony.com
- if the power is disconnected door won't open, and if the battery is the dead the door won't open.
Plug it in and hopefully you can get the tape out.

Did this work?

Tape can not be inserted backward in.It is impossible to to insert cassette inside video wrong way.
If it is not ejecting its eject switch might have got broken by physically pulling its cassette compartment outward before closing last time.
Its mini switch is very fragile in all sony models. so only way is to take to technician to bring it out.If i were you,I would buy used one from ebay at lower price than repairing.

I have a Sony Handycam Video 8 ccd-TR330E PAL.

Make sure you don't have the lens cover over the lens.

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC62 NTSC.The problem is i eject the cassette area, now i put back the cassette back inside the cassette area, the cassette area is not locking, and on the screen you see the eject sign , with C:32:11, stating reattached the source power. I would love if you an help me urgently please.

I think your ejecter motor is not working.temporarily open with any tool.

Unit may have damaged loader mechanism, have it checked
