The deck itself is a Sony TC-FX505R.
Make sure the cassette is seated fully in the cassette cradle. Also, try other cassettes just in case the one you are trying is too thick for the player. Also, the spring on the eject button isn’t sticking or broken. If it’s broken or if the lever inside that is pushed back by the cassette, the ejection lever, is sticking out instead of being pushed back, it won’t allow the cassette to be fully seated and thus the door won’t shut.
Try to flip the tape
Hello Johnny, it would be good if you publish what model of Sony cassette player you have, in the same way, observe if when you put the cassette in the cassette door, it stops so that it is in line with the reel seat,
If this does not happen, it may have broken the stop that determines this position in the door and the cassette goes lower, hindering the correct closing of the door

Hola Johnny, seria bueno que publiques que modelo de cassettera Sony tienes, de igual manera, observa si cuando colocas el cassette en la puerta porta cassette, este haga tope para que quede en linea con los portacarretes,
Si esto no sucede, posiblemente se haya roto el tope que determina esta posici?n en la puerta y el cassette se va mas abajo, entorpeciendo el correcto cerrado de la puerta

Testimonial: "Hi and thanks! It's a Sony TC-FX505R, maybe this can help other experts. The cassette might be going a tiny bit lower, but I don't see any broken or chipped parts, or any debries laying around!"
You must have broken it!
SOURCE: NAKAMICHI CASSETTE DECK 1 NOT PLAYING?
it has probably thrown the capstan belt and will require a new belt fitted. the transport relies on capstan rotation to engage play. a separate reel motor operates ff/rew and takeup funtions
SOURCE: Left Deck Door Stuck Shut on Cassette Deck
The cassette mechanism has a large gear that rotates to different
positions for the different modes. On time around is a play -
stop cycle. It is stuck in one position and won't come around to
the stop spot. Need to take the cover off and help it to turn to
get the cassette out. Then figure out if something is wrong
preventing it from turning or if the wheel driving it is the
problem. They are all a little different so this is where your
mechanical apptitude comes in.
By the way, you'll figure out right away they don't intend these things to be fixed.
Hope Ya Fix It.
SOURCE: Door won't open
It might be a model that has a special IC that allows the door to open and close.
You'll need to take the case off.
try hifiengine.com...that site may have the service manual.

SOURCE: Sony Dual-Deck Cassette Player/Recorder, doors won't close
Are both sides not staying shut? If it's only one side, look to see if the latch is broken. You should see an arm move when you press down the eject button - while the door is open, press the eject button and see where the arm moves. You should see a hook that catches the door and keeps it closed. It could be broken, or just jammed. Look at the other side of the deck and see it it looks like it's working the same. Unjam the latch arm if it's stuck, or replace it if it's broken.
SOURCE: Sony Handycam CCD-TR64 cassette door won't close
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.
Testimonial: "Thanks. We ended up getting a new camcorder. That Handycam was as old as I am (18 years), so it was time for an upgrade anyway."

Hello again Johnny, thank you for your comments, you are very considerate
I was looking for the service manual of your Sony TC-FX505R and could not locate it, I found if the model TC-FX510, which has a similar mechanism, there note that, you can remove the lid of the door to better see the interior of the cassette holder
Before putting the Cassette, observe that the head is in position to read the tape, if you look at it, there is a problem of alignment of the mechanics, with the possibility of some damaged piece, that makes this happen, also observe that both rollerball, are down, that none are in contact with their corresponding capstan axis
In this case you should look for a qualified technical service
to verify the chances of recovery of your Sony
I am a bit far away to be able to assist you personally, I hope you have served my comments
Greetings Franco DosilHola nuevamente Johnny, gracias por tus comentarios, eres muy considerado
Estube buscando el manual de servicio de tu Sony TC-FX505R y no lo pude ubicar, encontre si el del modelo TC-FX510, que tiene un mecanismo similar, ahi observe que, puedes sacar la tapa de la puerta para poder observar mejor el interior del portacassette
Antes de poner el Cassette observa que el cabezal se encuentre en posicion como para leer la cinta, si lo observas atrevesado, ahi tienes un problema de alineacion de la mecanica, con la posibilidad de alguna pieza da?ada, que haga que esto suceda, tambien observar que ambospinch roller, se encuentren hacia abajo, que ninguno se encuentre en contacto con su eje capstan correspondiente
En este caso deberias buscar un servicio tecnico calificado
para que verifique las posibilidades de recupero de tu Sony
Me encuentro un poco lejos como para poder asistirte personalmente, espero que te haya servido mis comentarios
Saludos Franco Dosil
Thanks again! The right roller is actually up in contact with the capstan (the left roller is down). I guess there's nothing else to do but take it to a technician. Thank you!!
Hello Johnny, I'm glad you found the point of failure, so you describe it is an out of point in the mechanism, it is something that will surely solve it and allow you to enjoy your Sony again
Greetings Franco Dosil
Hola Johnny, me alegra que hayas encontrado el punto de falla, por lo que describes es un fuera de punto en el mecanismo, es algo que seguramente lo van a resolver y permitir? que disfrutes nuevamente de tu Sony
Saludos Franco Dosil
Thank you so much Franco!
You're welcome Johnny, a pleasure, regards
De nada Johnny, un placer, saludos
