My sony handycam ccd-tr716

For sony handycam DV4000 the battery is not holding battery charger means don't fit the place

Hi!
try to inspect the mechanical lock! or maybe you have some debris or some solid matter not part of your handycam, inside the mechanical cassette that why your door not open.

shut it off and than back on. check battery, if that don't work your motor is going out, needs to be service.

hello flame!

possibilities:

no power - recharge battery or use power supply (might also battery broken)
tape stucked - ccd must be opened and cassette must be released manually (might also casette mechanism broken) this is service issue.

Common problem with this mechanism. In order to fix the problem you will have to replace part called CHASSIS LS. Expensive repair, probably not worth the effort.

Unit may have jumped mechanism timing. Take in for service

If battery is fully charged and unit still will not open, try removing the tape door and see if there is tape wrapped around capstan or ther parts. If you cannot find anything apparent, take unit to qualified pro tech

The problem is usually caused by no drum rotation. Have it serviced.
