I have a Sony stereo cassette deck TC FX25 with a cassette tape stuck in the deck. After the same thing happened quite a while ago I was able to remove it safely-but now don't remember how I did it. Upon pressing the eject button, the door does not fully open. When I pull on the deck door it opens forward enough to be able to pull the tape up and out. However, something is holding the tape firmly in place. Power button is on. Thank you!

Have you checked all the drive belts? Some dual decks use one drive motor and a long belt to drive both decks.
you also should be able to remove the cover of the tape compartment off to see the deck better

i had the same problem of not opening the cassette doors and not running with my sony tc wr535. After I repaced the belts myself with new ones it did run fine! :-) An original sony(!) rubber belt set for the two decks costed me 23 euroos incl pp.

The problem here is that the unit is stuck in a partial position. The "reset" by unplugging and plugging back in usually causes the unit to reset to a known position. If there is no activity (no motor sound), it will need to be opened up and reset manually. If you hear the motor running for a short period, it is attempting to reset, but the belt is most likely worn or broken. These units are relatively simple, but a bit tricky to dis-assemble. This repair should not require anything other than a belt or 2. Figure on $3-$10 for parts plus the local labor rate for the repair.
