Hi my sony CCD-TRV57E keeps ejecting the tape, and

If it were worth repairing, as a Sony agent, I would replace all of the capacitors and clean up the board then reset the mechanism and test.
Probably too old being 2001 vintage.

This is already an issue with the hardware. There is a rubber bond inside the cassette that is no longer intact and needs to be replaced. Possible cause by repetition of single and old cassette tape and improper tape position.

Did try disconnecting battery or AC adapter and wait a few minutes then install power and turn on .See if it will eject

I had the same problem and I switched to smaller tapes. I had been using the 120 minute tapes. It seemed like the tape would lock up after a short while with the larger tapes.

I had that problem also and I found that using smaller tapes helped. I was using the 120 minute tapes, I think they may be too heavy.

i just read about this c:31:22 problem while looking for a solution to another problem I am having. Someone suggested removing the battery, switching the camera to the "camera" setting, and then turn it off, put the batter back in and it should work. Good luck.

Unit may have damaged loader mechanism, have it checked

sad to say that the problem of your camera is the timing gear is already damage....it need to disassembly the camera to fix the timing gear....go to the qualified service center for fixing or replacing the timing gear..
