XH-A1 stopped reading tapes

I had a tape in. I was in vcr mode. I pushed play, it showed footage. I switched to another tape, which I know was full...the camera says its blank. No timecode shows, no image, but it knows how much time is left on the tape. I tried at least 10 other tapes. All show up 'blank'. What is the issue? I have a client driving an hour to see his footage and this happens 30 minutes before he gets here >:(
