HP SSL1016 (Ultrium460) cartridge stuck

[timmy2006]

A box labeled C7978A (cleaning tape) wasnt really conatained the issued cartridge but this cartridge was inserted and successfully determined as a cleaning tape. (the color of cartridge was not orange as I remember)
But when I tried to eject the tape - I was given '6E' error that is not described in manual. The web interfase gave me: "Picker does not accept media' or smth like that. Can I mannualy eject tape from drive without using picker (by dismounting whole unit, or forcing picker to pick that tape, etc)
Please help....

HP SSL1016 drive unit can be manually extracted from device. Its hold by 4 screws on the back. Inside there is a power supply, some circuits on bottom an the main is traditional drive with front panel. By the right hand (front view) on the drive there is a gear that is a part of ejection mechanism. Manually rotating this gear you can easily eject the cartridge from the slot (parhaps you should push a cartridge by hand a little up or down). As there are no warranty labels on the drive unit and it's replacment is described in manual I suppose our operation would not touch the warranty.
Solution "AS IS" :)
