    How to Remove Stuck Tape?

    A DV tape has become stuck in my Canon Elura 100 camcorder. When I open the tape door, the motor whirls for a second, but doesn't move the tape holder up and out as it should. I need to get the tape out without destroying the camcorder. A few questions:

    (1) Any general suggestions to try that might help?
    (2) Any Elura 100 specific suggestions to try that might help? I've pulled a lot of screws out of this thing in an attempt to take it apart and access the tape, but so far no luck.
    (3) Any suggestions of a CHEAP facility in Los Angeles that I could turn to for help? Any idea how much it might cost? I'd prefer to do it myself, but can admit when I can go no further.

    Thanks for any suggestions!
