'99 Toyota 4Runner Cassette Issue

[parroth3ad]

I have a 1999 Toyota 4Runner with a CD/Tape/Radio combo; up until a few months ago, the cassette player worked great, then I started having issues with it until finally one day it stopped working altogether, I opened the slot to look inside since the tape would go in most of the way then get pushed right back out... apparently a spring came loose from somewhere inside. If I were to take it apart, does anyone have a diagram of the cassette player's inner workings, I would like to fix this instead of purchasing a replacement. I am hoping somebody could give me some advice or tips, maybe I'm not the first person to experience this issue.

Thanks

Cant help you with a fix. If you change your mind about replacement, I would ship you my original for $30. Toyota part # 86120-2b761. Model # on top right face is 16844. Replaced for a navi unit long ago.
