Help! Old VCR won't eject and turns off.

So I found this old Quasar VCR that my family had stored for quite sometime so I just decided to test it everything went fine, except for two instances where the VCR swallowed the tape, but I just ejected, took it out and rewound the tape and it played to the very end, so I rewound the tape with the vcr, played it again but when I pressed stop (this function was also working just fine) it turned off, so every time I turn it on it makes a noise as if it's wounding/tensing the tape and turns off again... and now the VHS is stuck inside the VCR, I can't seem to find the mechanism that ejects the tape nor do I now wich screws actually ,to take off in order to acces the mode switch that could be the root cause of this, but yeah first I need to get the VHS out... Any suggestions? Can any of you guys see where the ejection mechanism is? (Yeah I gotta get rid of those years of dust).
