Help Needed with my Aiwa Cassette Deck

[andromeda1]

my aiwa zr700 midi system tape decks dont work.
When powered up they click for about 5 seconds, the doors wont open and the one tape thats stuck inside wont play. Initially it was only deck 1, now its both.
Any ideas please? is there a drive belt that could need replacing?
Thanks in advance

yes it could be drive belts or lubrication.

I have the same problem...can I force it?

Sorry, my comment was mixed in with the quote.... here it is again.

Mine does the same thing. Did you ever get yours fixed short of forcing it open? If so, how? Thanks
