What it sounds like it's doing is the tape slack take-up routine, it has to sense the supply reel turn a bit after load to sense no slack condition, but never senses the supply reel turns, so it just shuts down.

The sensors I am talking about (PC3001, 3002) are soldered to the main board, plastic, stick up, and have a phototransistor and LED arrangement that gets interrupted when the reels turn. Part number is GP3S123 (I own a JVC with the same mechanism so I have some service info.)
