Symptom: Tape will not load.

What I did: There was a tape stuck in the VCR so I opened it and pulled the
tape out, I might have used a little bit excessive force :( Then I couldn't
put the tape back in.

Probable Cause: (This is what I found in a book about VCR repair) 
 1. Cassette loading switches dirty or broken
 2. Loading mechanism jammed
 3. Cassette cover release not activated
 4. Loading motor inoperative

Help sought on: I couldn't locate where the cassette loading switch is,
nor do I have the necessary equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope) to test
it. If anyone out there has experienced a similar problem, or thinks you
know how to fix it, PLEASE PLEASE contact me either by email or call me at
(614)421-0934.

Thank you very much in advance.
