No buttons will function on my Kenwood KX-W4070, Double-Cassette Deck, even after powering down. Could a tape jam be the cause? Is there a way to extract a cassette from inside?

Yes, a tape jam could cause all buttons to stop functioning on a Kenwood KX-W4070 Double-Cassette Deck, especially if the mechanism becomes stuck or the microprocessor control detects an error. To extract a jammed cassette, try the following steps:
1. Power Cycle – Turn the deck off and on to reset the system. 2. Manually Operate Contacts – If the deck has microprocessor control, check if the record prevention or cassette detection contacts are stuck and try operating them manually. 3. Use Contact Cleaner – If the deck drops into record mode unexpectedly or fails to open, applying contact cleaner to switches may help. 4. Manually Release the Mechanism – If the cassette door remains stuck, gently try to release it by pressing eject while carefully assisting the door with light pressure.
If the issue persists, further mechanical inspection may be necessary.
