I have a JVC camcorder model GR-DVL150E. With a full battery the mini dv tape will not eject. The eject mechanism moves and the tape carriage starts to move but jams. How do i free it or dismantle the camera ?

I have the same problem. Someone but the tape in the wrong way and it wouldnt eject. They got the tape out but the carrige stuggles to move and it is out of place. On the screen it says E01 meaning that the unit is in safeguard mode because the sensor says that the carrige is moving at an unusual pace. Does anyone have any suggestions. We did go to a repair shop and to get it fixed it is the same price as the camera when I got it.
