Hi,
the tape deck mechanism is faulty, the remedy is to change the mechanism. if you can repair it open take out the mechanism, remove the head, eject housing,and the sensors mechanism locking plate etc, then peel out the flexible cable from the mechanism, and change it.

Sony A1U stopped functioning. Neither AC power or battery yields anything. Reset button yields brief flash only. Tape stuck in machine. Help?
SOURCE: Can you view HDV tapes
NO.
Mini DV cameras do not have the ability to read the HDV codec.
