well what do you know. It is actually the contacts between the guide and the metal body inside. when the case is closed, the swith is supposed to be activated. proper misalignment will cause the circuit to break and an error occurs. So pounding might only cause the connector to be aligned again or something. Anyway, it was lucky it worked. To prevent, load tape slowly. wait untuil th tape fully stop before removing the tape. never, never drop or bang the cam on the table etc. When in the bag, careful not to jolt it. use heavily padded bag.
