jammed video cassette

[sue_flaherty]

Have a problem with a jammed cassette in a video recorder. manual advices unplugging video and then pluggin it in again - however this doesn't solve the problem. Can't play or record on the video. Anyone have any advice on what I can do here. Quite an older video - about 8 years old.,

Unplug it and take the cover off, you may be able to see what is catching on the mechanism inside and release it.
