Re[2]: JVC GR-D70U condensation problem

Unknown Posted Jun 23, 2006, in response to:mrclean65

After months of research I found this method (hard reset) to work well on my JVC GR-D70U. The first time I dissected the camera I unscrewed 20 plus screws because I didn’t know any better. I ended up unscrewing the LCD, and the lens which is not necessary. The “hard reset” method lasted for a few months before I had to do it again. This time around I made sure to unscrew only the screws necessary for this procedure. I took note of which screws I removed to make it easier for myself the next time around and so I can share this useful information with you all. Wrap each screw with a Post It note. On the outside of the Post It note write where the screw belongs. After you are done unwrap the screws and put them back in their proper places. (If you have a better method please feel free to use it) 11 Screws Total: 1. Very Top Screw of the Camera (when looking at the camera with a birds eye view/lens pointing away) 2. Top of camera Screw next to the W/T zoom knob (when looking at the camera with a birds eye view/ lens pointing away) 3. Inside the battery slot Top Left corner screw (long screw) 4. Inside the battery slot Top Right corner screw (long screw) 5. Inside the battery slot Middle Left screw. 6. Screw next to the Firewire port (inside the LCD area) 7. Screw under the “Battery Release” Knob (when look at the bottom of the camera lens facing down) 8. Screw to the Right of the SD Card Slot (when look at the bottom of the camera lens facing down) 9. Above the Tri Pod hole LEFT Screw closer to the LCD (when look at the bottom of the camera lens facing down) 10. Below the Tri Pod hole and Below that small black hole.. Screw to the left closer to the LCD (when look at the bottom of the camera lens facing down) 11. Below the Tri Pod hole and Below that small black hole.. Screw closest to the edge and closest to the speaker (when look at the bottom of the camera lens facing down) Total: 11 Screws. After removing the Screws… 1. First remove the grey plastic piece on the very top of the camera. (Above the eye piece) 2. Carefully separate the camera in half. 4. Look for the big White plug closest to the battery slot. (It is located on the circuit board and it has a bunch of wires coming out of it) 5. Unplug it and wait for a few minuets. Then re-plug it. (At this point I personally tried to put the battery in and turn the camera on to see if it had worked. (i don't know this may be dangerous so be careful!!!) 6. Carefully bring the 2 camera sides back together and make sure you get a snug fit. (The section by the speaker should snap in properly) 7. Put the grey piece back in its proper place. 8. Put the screws back into their proper places.

    I just want to thank you for your findings and clear instruction on how to deal with this condensation issue. I have a JVC GHR-D90U. I followed your suggestion step by step and it worked very well. I had to complete a project and was already planning on renting equipment because I couldn't get help from JVC dealers in my area. As a final step I went online, entered a description of the problem I was having and found your excellent ideas. Once again thank you, Héctor

    Great instruction on screws to remove and doing a hard reset on the JVC GR-D70U worked great..wish I had found these before our trip to Washington. Thanks very much for the detailed instructions that actually work!

    thank you, i was kinda thinking that once i took the screws out and took it apart i would never get it back together, but it worked and i only had to drink one beer!

    I followed the steps exactly and when I put it back together got a tight fit. When I turn it on, I see the red power light turn on, but when I pull the eye piece out to start recording, I hear nothing like the motor starting up - only a black screen - no video at all. Do you have any idea where I may have gone wrong when following the 11 step screw process? I did unplug the white plug and waited about 5 minutes - replugged, and put it back together. I was in HIGH HOPES that would work since it has worked for so many others. Please give me any suggestions you might can think of to try. Thank you!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! We've been out a camera for close to a year because of this condensation warning. God bless you!

    Excellent details. Thanks! While I was in there, I removed the small strip behind the zoom controls (4 screws: 3 black, 1 silver) to gain access to the humidity sensor so that I could clean it. BTW, what should it be cleaned with? Rubbing alcohol?
