Optura Pi Mini DV Digital Camcorder: I connected to AC and recharged, turned on and got...

I connected to ac and recharged turned on and got "remove cassette" message. Opened case to eject camcorder made noises but did not eject. After much fussing I got the tape to eject but now it won't return to closed position. I have been told by a technician that Canon no longer makes parts for this camcorder. Is there any hope for this device?

Canon Optura Pi Mini DV Digital Camcorder. The metal compartment holding the tape won't open. Battery is charged, everything else works. Cannot remove the tape.

Tape mechanism malfunctions can be due to many factors. A bad gear is the most likely cause and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it’s not a user serviceable problem and will need to be diagnosed by a qualified service technician.
My name is Rick and I’m a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I’m semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

Optura Pi is eating tapes

hi from what i understand by "eat" is that the coil is popped out what it means is that the coil leader is misplaced and letting it to run free out of place this can be fixed by you if you will find what had gone wrong in that path (broken pin, cog etc...) and glue it back or fix the missing element in place good luck
