hi. try this link might help you out. Canon ZR80 Mini DV Digital Camcorder cassette stuck inside Google Search

If it has indeed been dropped, then sadly it is probably beyond economic repair

Have you plugged the right cables into the correct sockets ?

hello, As your camera only has analogue outputs, you will need to buy a video capture card for your PC, such as those made by Leadtek. As mentioned by Tela above, there are also external USB-connected devices that do the same job. Make sure your PC exceeds the minimum spec or you may lose information during capture. I would recommend at least 1GHz processor. Hope that helps.

When the product is too old and there are no repair parts sitting in a warehouse somewhere.....it isn't going to get repaired.

Do you have the leads plugged in correctly ?

That is the pinch roller. If it does not press the tape against the capstan, then the tape will not pass the read/write heads. Replace it.
