After opening and closing the video cassette deck (which I have done so many times before), the tape seemingly got stucked. My JVC GR-DVL9600A DV camera is around 4 years old. I've fooled around with it enough to know that opening and closing the cassette deck should not cause any major catastrophe. And yet, now my tape is stucked inside the recorder. I recorded the tape to record-end. I don't know if this may have contributed to the failure. Then I opened the deck, and closed it again. It was from here on the tape was stucked. The DV camera beeps "ready", as normal, but after a second or two it kind of un-beeps, leaving a creepy "E01" message on the screen. No motor sound. No access to any menues. No zooming. No nothing. I've unloaded the battery as prescribed by the manual, and inserted the battery again after a few minutes. Same sad result. Any help on this issue is warmly welcome.
