HELP! Camcorder tape eject won't work!?

Question

Someone please help, I have to use this tomorrow! It's a Panasonic PalmCorder, about 7 years old, model # is PV-D29D if that means anything to anyone. The tape is stuck inside, the eject button won't work, and we can't pry it open. The tape plays fine in the machine, and the battery is charged. Please help!

Answer 1

tapes have a spine mechanism that opens up after a tape is inserted. sounds like the spine is stuck open and the eject won't work cos of this.

i'm afraid it's off to service place for you.

if the tape is not valuable i would suggest buying a new cam cause it could be cheaper (and obviusly better) than the cost of repair.
