Tape stuck in drive that won't power up

Hi,

Got a 12/24gb DAT tape drive that won't power up which we will have replaced by Compaq service. However, the drive will not power up when connected to a power supply and the tape that's inside has some rather important data. Is there a removal procedure we can follow to remove the tape from the drive?

Thanks,

Rich

Have the Field Service Engineer or Authorized Compaq Service Provider remove the tape from the tape drive .
