Sony handycam ccd-f55 eject problem

My buddy gave me a handycam discribed above and when i put the tape in and hit record the tape doesnt move and then i get an eject button. I dont want to replace anything because it is probably cheaper getting a new one so what can i do?

Are you using a new blank

Are you using a new blank tape, or a used one? I can't remember if these tapes have an erasure protection tab similar to VHS, but it's worth a look.

Otherwise, if it is really broken, just toss it and buy something new. I see no value in fixing it, expecially considering how costly it can be to fix a camcorder.
