condensation with jvc camcorder -- the cleaning idea works thanks to the people who posted -- no need to pull the camera apart

my camera is a jvc grdx -57 and it has displayed the same infuriating message about condensation and operation suspended. i tried the advice given with respect to cleaning the tiny sensor --once cleaned and left for an hour or so the thing has worked superbly since. i did really strugle to locate the sensor it is as described in other postings but i had cleaned chips and other black components before actually locating it -- i am a mechanical engineer afterall. you will know when you have cleaned it because the black deposits that are removed are very distinctive. the sensor on my camera is on the side of the silver cylindrical component half hidden behind what looks like a tape guidance post. the cleaning advice works so persevere in finding the sensor.
