Try cooling your camera and tapes before use - I only get these errors when on holiday (i.e somewhere hot and sunny, not like the UK!), together with a red symbol of a tape with a line through it. I hold the camera in front of the car's Aircon blowers for a few minutes and it restarts fine! I assume therefore the fault message is due to overheating and condensation.

Just had this problem and managed to fix it. I powered on WITHOUT a tape inserted. Display came up OK. Then inserted tape and all worked fine since. Don't know why, but it's fixed now. Maybe this will work in your case.
