This camcorder had a tape stuck in it. After removing tape, and reassembling and making sure all connectors were attached, it loads the 'tape' (I covered the center LED) but will not unload. This is the way it first came to me. Tape was around the heads. Using a tape produces same results. E07 "unit in safeguard mode and "remove and reattach battery" flashing in viewfinder. I am powering it using AC adapter. No mechanical obstructions visible blocking the spindles from unloading. In fact when I uncover the LED and just plug in adapter with no tape in unit the spindles go around the heads, unload and pressing eject on function board works. Problems with unloading only when tape is inserted or when I defeat the center LED I'm thinking possibly the mode switch needs cleaned or positioned. HOw do you clean these little things? and does anyone have a print or could explain mode switch positioning? This switch is really hard to get to.
