SOURCE: camcorder tape door opening

I had a problem the same as yours and I found the problem on the ribbon wire connected to the board where all the control button is located ( stop, rew, play, fwd pause). The problem occur because everytime you eject the tape from the loading mechanism the ribbon wire also move like your cutting it into pieces. sorry for my english hope you get the idea.... wait for the photo and i'll show you what i mean.. hope this will give you the solution you need.

SOURCE: Eject is flashing with fast beeps. Won't eject tape or open compartment.

sad to say that the problem of your camera is the timing gear is already damage....it need to disassembly the camera to fix the timing gear....go to the qualified service center for fixing or replacing the timing gear..

SOURCE: Reinsert cassette

I've been researching this for hours. I have the same problem. Took it to a repair shop today that would charge me $250 to replace the whole tape mechanism. Finally, I tried the whack trick. I gave the camera a good firm smack on the right side, and voila, now it works! I'm going to tranfer everything to DVD ASAP!

SOURCE: Elura 65 camcorder: Zoom control

Smack the bottom of the camera with the palm of your hand and it will unstick the zoom. Worked for me!

Get tape out of dead camera

You may download a free copy of the manual from http://www.retrevo.com/support/Panasonic-PV-L557-Camcorders-manual/id/208dj783/t/2/

I took a quick look but didn't find a way to open it manually. It does give ordering information for a replacement battery/charger. You might also be able to find third-party replacements.

My iphone zoomed in for no reason and now does not zoom out

If you've tried restoring to a back up, and it has not fixed the problem, that indicates the error has been backed up to your most recent iPhone backup. If you're trying to avoid doing a full restore, i would recomend going to an older backup, that may preserve your contacts and calendars.Hope this helps, and good luck!

Unresponsive buttons because of engaged zoom

the reason why the lens zooms out is because the zoom switch is faulty and might need replacing.The way to tell this is when you switch it on in camera mode you will see the zoom bar displays on the lcd and stays there.
