My handy cam (Hi8) has problem loading the tapes. As soon as you load
the tape it will close and in about 5 seconds eject itself. I have
verified all the mech parts they all look OK. Any thoughts if anyone
else came across this problem?

TIA


I'm not a camcorder guy, but these models will do that when the drum fails
to start up after the tape loads.
