How do I get a stuck cassette out of my car?

Pry, but Gently

You can do that with a long, slender flat-tip screwdriver, or anything of fairly similar shape. Hold down the eject button, and when the tape begins to rise, slide your prying tool underneath it and lift gently. Your tape should pop the rest of the way up so you can remove it.

Why is my cassette tape stuck?

One of the common reasons for a stuck tape could be a defective eject button. In that case, you need to help the eject button a little bit. So, get a flat-head screwdriver or something similar to that shape. Next, press the Eject button, and the tape will start to rise.

How do you reset a cassette player?

Other Things to Check

Power reset the player. Unplug the power cord or remove all the batteries from the player and let it sit for a minute. Then, perform steps 3 and 4 again. Note: If your device runs on batteries, make sure to use fresh or fully charged rechargeable batteries.

How do you untangle a cassette tape?

Put a small dot of superglue in each corner on the edge of one half of the cassette case. Snap the two halves of the case together and hold them together for 30 seconds. It's best not to glue all the way around the cassette tape, just in case you have to take it apart again in the future.

Can old cassette tapes be restored?

If your cassette or microcassette tape needs repair, splicing, re-attaching the leader tape to the spindle or replacing the shell, Audio Restorations can make the repair for you at a reasonable price.

How do you open a glued cassette?

Insert a good-sized Stanley screwdriver head into one of the wells on the back of the tape where the knockout tabs go. If the head is the right size, turning it should force the two halves of the shell apart. Repeat with the other well, then slide the tip of the screwdriver to separate the top edge completely.

Do you have to rewind cassettes?

Do you need to rewind it after your done. Like macnoob said almost all decks auto-stop at the end, but not all decks auto-stop after rewinding or fast forwarding. You have to do it or the tape may stretch. Don't use the pause function for more than a few seconds, it stretches the tape.
