At any rate, if electronics becomes jammed and the carriage would not work, remove the battery and disconnect the AC power altogether and then try again see if the camcorder responds after reconnecting. And if the carriage door is already open, try to air it out with gentle air, and then try again by reconnecting.

It's not "stuck" in the sense that the camera tries to eject it, and fails. It's "stuck" in the sense that the camera does not power up at all, and thus, will not even start to initiate the eject routine.
Yes, I tried everything I could relating to power, it didn't help. The camcorder is completely fried.
I ended up dismantling it completely to get the tape out. I did figure out how to work the 'rewind' motor by hand, and rewound to the beginning of the tape before ripping the tape holder apart, and finally got it out, with only a little creasing during and unimportant part.
