I have a Philips VR6290 with an "IDM" (Philips) mechanism. The mech won't eject the cassette. I have located the loading motor and have tried to disconnect one wire and run it from an ext. psu, but it will only move the mech slightly and not fully eject, reversing polarity several times will not make it move further either. There is a cover plate underneath and I am not able to see what is jammed. Is there an easy way to 'emergency-eject' it?
