I've got a Sony HDR-HC3 HDV Handycam that's been sitting hooked up as a video camera for a good while, with no tape in the drive.
I just opened up the door to check the tape size, and now I can't close it. There's a frame that comes out marked "do not push", then a carrier that pops out of that where you put the tape, marked "push". I thought that when you push that in, a motor is supposed to retract the frame, but nothing happens.
It's not been dropped or anything, just sitting getting warm. I suppose some lubricant may have dried out.
Anyone seen this before ?
