A DV tape has become stuck in my Canon Elura 100 camcorder. When I open
the tape door, the motor whirls for a second, but doesn't move the tape
holder up and out as it should. I need to get the tape out without
destroying the camcorder. A few questions:
(1) Any general suggestions to try that might help?
(2) Any Elura 100 specific suggestions to try that might help? I've
pulled a lot of screws out of this thing in an attempt to take it apart
and access the tape, but so far no luck.
(3) Any suggestions of a CHEAP facility in Los Angeles that I could turn
to for help? Any idea how much it might cost? I'd prefer to do it
myself, but can admit when I can go no further.
Thanks for any suggestions!
