It was possibly my posting that you seen, as these problems are widespread across a range of their models, but unfortunately this fact is not known by many users who have the problem. I would enquire as to where the nearest JVC service depot is for your part of the world, as you have to contact JVC first anyway, and they tell you where to take it (or send it) to, giving you an authorisation note for the free repair, that is of course if it is the CCD that's failed!!, as they have done in hundreds of their camcorders. Unfortunately I do not think they would supply you with the CCD module, as they maintain it has to be fitted by a qualified person, which generally means some business "they" approve of.
