I cannot eject the tape from my Sony Handycam,DCR-TRV250, The door opens but the mechanism will not eject the tape.

Worked for me too! I took the battery off for 5 minutes. Thanks!

Thanks! This worked for me also. Waited about 20 minutes and it ejected fine.

this is wonderful! i had the same exact problem and when i took the battery out for 30 minutes it worked just fine.

this is a great solution.

I had the exact same problem. The silver tape holder would eject half way, but then stop. The sucker would not continue to open the casette door. TRY TO TAKE THE BATTERY OFF THE UNIT FOR 30 MINUTES, THEN RECONNECT IT. I did this, and the camcorder door worked perfectly. Now I can return the new camcorder I bought last week.
Good luck. Hope this solves your problem.
