I was looking online to find a troubleshoot for my problem with my JVC camcorder. I am having the same problem as you. I am having trouble getting a picture on my camcorder. When I turn it on I only see black through the lens and/or through the screen. Constantly gives the lens cap warning in automatic and manual modes. Will only record sound. LCD is black with only the warning message. Just wondering if you have found any hope or given up. We just started using it consistently for the birth of our first daughter and the dumb camcorder only lasted to for 3 months. i had received it as a Christmas present 2 years ago from my mother and didn't use it much until our daughter was born in April. By July it started with the "Lens Cap On" issue. Of course it is past warranty. JVC told me to take the battery pack off for 1/2 hour and retry. Of course it didn't work. It doesn't work if the battery pack is off for a long while. It's a poor excuse for a troubleshoot technique. After calling them and saying this they direct me to get it repaired by their dealer. I would have to mail it to a dealer and have them charge $55 to just open it and then charge for any repairs done. No way! I am interested joining your lawsuit and helping in any way I can. I can't contribute money but I can be a squeaky wheel. :) Any help/advice/counseling : ) would be appreciated. Thanks and have a very Merry Christmas!!
