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.

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.
