What kind of camcorder is it

What kind of camcorder is it (HI-8, 8mm, VHS-C, etc.)? And what kind of tape are you trying to put in it.

If you're not sure what kind of camcorder, please provide the make and model number, as well as the type of tape you're trying to insert.

This thread has been moved to the camcorders section. When posting in the future, please try to post in the appropriate place.

Does anything happen when you press the button? A noise or anything? Have you tried pushing the button with the camcorder plugged into an AC outlet in the wall?

If the unit won't close, than

If the unit won't close, than there is a misalignment of the main carriage assembly. These are not the easiest to work on if you have not done one before. I would not suggest you attempt this. A typical repair would cost arounf $150 for labor. It is possible that this won't require parts. Request an estimate that shouldn't cost you more than about $50.

Keep us posted.
