No image and yellow signs (Focus ?) blinking constantly on bottom of the screen. Unable to use camcorder in this state.

Hi there. I was recently given a JVC camcorder that was purchased in the USA. The camcorder is JVX GR-DX95E. I used it for few day´s and now it has developed some kind of malfunction or condition that does not allow me to take video. The problem with the camera is when turned on in auto or manual it shows no video image on the LCD screen. The LCD screen shows up black with all sign and text info ok on screen but no image. It is showing the distance or focus signal blinking constanty in yellow at the bottom of the screen. The yellow blinking sign is I believe the distance or focus sign i.e. the far distance (mountain logo) and the close distance sign (Person logo) and the left and right arrow between the above signs blinks together. I have been unable to determine what this is and resetting the camera does not remedy the problem and nothing in the menu seems to indicate anything I can do. Are you able to comment on this and or should I send it in for repair. Best regards G.Vidarsson Iceland
