Cassette Door Malfunction

Hello, I have a Canon Zr20 camcorder. I just recently started having problems with the cassette Cage. I opened the door casing and the cage popped out and ejected the tape that was within. Now I inserted a different cassette, closed the cage and nothing is happening. From time to time the cage retracts, but not consistently and never with a tape inside. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?   -Jason
