I have a JVC digital video camera GR-D30u (mini DV) that I've had for about 6 months and really enjoyed. It was working fine one day - I took about a half hour of video. When I got home to play it, it wouldn't turn on. The battery should have had power, but I plugged it in anyway. Still nothing. The power light doesn't even go on. It's the strangest thing, nothing happened to the camera - no drop, etc. The tape is in the camera and when I open the cassette door it does not pop out. Any suggestions. I've been told that I can have it serviced at Ritz Camera, but it will cost $279 to start. The camera only cost about $350. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
