Default Sony CCD-FX620 Camcorder... tape door problem?

I have a Sony CCD-FX620 camcorder that seems to work perfectly save one
problem... it likes generic "OH NO EJECT THE TAPE" errors. In VTR mode, it
usually works fine, except occasionally (especially when rewinding or fast-
forwarding) it stops and flashes the eject icon at me until I turn the
thing off and eject, and sometimes it doesn't even entirely eject; I can
hear it lifting the tape off the drum but it does not open the door and it
is necessary to disconnect the power and reconnect it before it will eject.

Then when I am in recording mode, it more often than not starts beeping and
telling me to eject the tape as soon as I close the tape door (before the
tape carriage thing slides back down into the camera). Occasionally if I
push on the tape door a little bit this stops and I can record, but then it
usually gets mad next time I move the camera around and does the same thing
again. Grr. The way I close the door seems to affect it, too: even pressure
on both of the top corners while closing slowly but with a few seconds of
very much pressure after it's latched tends to reduce the frequency of the
problem.

Any ideas on how I might go about fixing this thing?
