Audio Systems: Cassette stuck in radio, ford escort zx2, ford escort zx2 99


Question
Recently I inserted my cassette in my tape player.  It's a Ford Escort ZX2 '99.  The player made strange whirring noises and the cassette jammed.  It won't rewind and it won't fast forward and it certainly won't eject; the machine seems to think there is no cassette inside.  (Which is why I am able to switch stations.  Even the display reads: NO TAPE)  My finger doesn't quite fit inside the insert area, but I'm afraid to damage the stereo more.  Any tips?  Your help will be greatly appreciated.  

Answer
Hello Augusto,
One thing for sure, the tape load mechanics did not load the tape fully due to something being broken or out of adjustment. This may be due to a broken/stripped load gear/s. The only recourse is to remove the stereo and have it serviced.
