Samsung SV-232XS won't eject tape?
 

Hi,
over the weekend I digitized a VHS tape. It’s an LP tape.
After the tape had finished running, I rewound it all the way to the beginning. Now the player won’t eject it anymore.

Here is a video demonstrating the issue:

Can you estimate whether the tape can be removed with a simple intervention, or whether this really requires an expert/technician?

Best regards,
Daniel

Dirty Mode switch, they're fairly simple i recall (i've worked on sv-451, sv-422 etc..)

see attached picture.
Try to put some grease on the gears too
