Hi; just found this forum.. so let me explain what this E4 problem is all about. I'll try to answer all major problems: 1. E4 is not depending on the type of tape 2. There is a electric wire like a tape with a lot of wires; this tape is transparent and it is the electric connection to the rotative head. because of turning on and off the camera lots of times the end of this "tape" truyes to jump out of the connector. This happenes also at camcorders wich have been a lot in the sun. 3. How to solv the problem: You have to hiold the camcorder in your right hand amd with the left hand you have to press quite hard with your fingers placed on the part where the LCD meets the body. This will bring the "tapes" connector back in the regular position and it is the only way to fix the problem for good without opening the device. I hope many of you will solv their problems with my help!

I have had this same problem in the recent past and found that I was able to reset it, after playing with some settings I discovered my toes on the screen and thought I had fixed the problem! The next time I turned on my unit the same thing happened, unfortunately I was not able to reset it as of yet. I f I am able to do so I will send you a method . Although if you find the method first I would much appreciate the help! Darren

i don't have the driver of my digital camecorder, please tell where i can find it to download it and install it in my computer. thjank you

I have a JVC GR-DLV310U and have gotten this error message many times. I have found the only thing that works is beating the camera out of frustration. My kid's hockey game in the third period is when the @&*$#*#%^#% thing acts up usually. I've actually broken the LCD screen when I slammed it shut too hard out of frustration. Oh, also, the eyepiece didn't work due to the little ribbon wire connection which I got fixed after one year (under warranty). The wire breaks from moving the eyepiece up and down. Well shortly after I'd gotten it fixed under warranty, it broke again. So, overall, I would say this cam which I paid over $1000 for is a piece of crap. It still works intermittently, but I use it mainly as a doorstop...it just isn't worth fixing. My Sony works pretty good...bought it on EBay for $60...Hi8.

how do i download my digital video camera to my screensavers to show the pitchers i have.for expal the screen saver comes across my computer. how whould i do that?

Add me to the list ... bang the camera a few times with your hand ... it hurts but it works ... incredible. I think I'll go into business repairing JVC cameras now, the only expense will be bandages and bruise ointment! Mine is a different model, a GR-D73EK, but the cure appears to be the same. PS: I have an earlier model too - a GR-DVL167EK - which has been stuck in that stupid "safeguard mode" for a year now (which is why I had to buy the new one). Sadly, despite giving it a severe beating from every conceivable angle, this *remains* stuck ... has no-one in the world managed to get JVC to publish a proper cure? Hmmmm ... maybe a rubber mallet will work - on the camera I mean, not JVC (actually that might not be such a bad idea).

I've been given a GR-DVL-367EK camcorder which is completely inactive except for error code E04. Cassette has been removed but the cassette holder doesn't open. Heard there is a software fix for this problem - does anybody know where I can find it?

Press eject..put a rock in it and close it...but not too hard...it pops it right out of safeguard

Hi, the school I work for has a JVC GR DVL150 that keeps giving the E03 error message. Do you know how to fix that aswell adrian_m?

I have the same problem that you have. one day I found out if I leave the cam corder in some place that is cold it will show up that code. I try to put is some place warm it work since then. Hope your will come back alive..
