Sharp camcorder tape eject

I have a Sharp Camcorder model vl-ah50 that won't power up. Is there some way to manually eject the tape? Thanks!

have you tried using a charged battery and the mains adaptor on it?

No charger, no adaptor... found the cam on the highway with a box of halloween decorations, somebody moving no doubt... hence the query "manually eject..."

then I don't think there's a way. chances are the tape will be partially threaqded and you will break it if you don't power the deck up before tryign to remove it. That would be a shame as maybe you got yourself a working camcorder and don't even know it! I would look on ebay for the accessories,. sometimes you can download the manual from the manufacturer's website to see what they look like. or search ebay for the same model and see if anyone is selling it with all the bits and pieces and have a photo you can see.
