How can i make trv 320e lights on the playback work?

i have a Sony trv 320e the lights on the tape cover that does the play back went out and the eject button doesn't work now... i pulled the cover off and the plate that keeps it all together and with it all hanging loose in the open position the lights came back on but when put back in position nothing , looks like the power ribbon is loose but it goes into the cassette chamber, how can i get in there when the tape won't eject? anyone know??
