Hi, well actually NO, if the power has failed there is NO Way to get the tape out without diss-assembly.
One must remove the side covers and gain access to the eject motor/gear, then we can work the gear around to drive the tray out. However to even do this procedure one MUST have a Service Manual, to know the order in which to take it apart.
Service manual below. Use the troubleshooting steps in there to isolate your issue.

you need an iLink cable. Also known as a mini-i400 or Firewire Mini. If you have standard 6-pin Firewire (IEEE1394) on your PC, you can get a converter cable which is i400 one end, 1394 the other.

Here's what someone mentioned to do on a web blog:
Question: does you camera have a removable backup battery (usually a
lithium coin cell such as 2016) to hold user settings, such as time
and time zone?

Sometimes taking both batteries out will reset such a problem.
Disconnect the camcorder from any AC supply, remove the regular
battery, then remove the coin cell.

Wait a while before restoring the coin cell. Then replace the
regular battery and try again.

Of course, all user settings will be lost, but that shouldn't be too
hard to redo.

I hope that works, otherwise it sounds like it's new camera - or
repair - time.

Couldn't find anything else on this problem, but hope it helps.

The loading tray of the cassette is out of alignment or damaged or the drive is faulty. This section needs a highly technical support and so you will need to check from the loading drive circuit , the servo section and the power section.
I suggest you must take help from JVC service for estimation before it must be decided if this is worth . Sometimes a blown fuse in this section can stop the loading section from working.

This is most likely caused by a damaged or misaligned video drum and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

The camera will say that when it detects that the moisture level is too high. Make sure that the camera is completely dry. If it is warm and dry with a clean tape installed and still gives the error, then the condensation sensor may be bad. It can be replaced, but you should check with JVC about warrantee.

I can copy the manual for you if you wish. (Can't give you the original as will need that for when I sell my own GR707 camera)

Let me know if this helps:
