JVC Mini DV Camera

Camera seems to think that the lens cap is on, there is no image (and no the lens cap is not on)

The message "Lens Cap" appears when the camera is turned on, there is no image to see and it will not record, but the playback facility of old tapes still works fine. The model is JVC Mini DV GR - D60EK

Thanks

    I sent it back to JVC, and they fixed it free of charge. Call their customer service first.

  I too have this 'lens cap' problem. I contacted JVC and they sent me an 'authorisation' letter, valid for three months, to have it repaired. Unfortunately I have to contact the repairer myself and all the phone numbers that JVC have supplied are either continually engaged, disconnected, or not accepting messages any more.
  
  Perhaps they hope that by the time I finally contact the repairer the 'authorisation' will have run out! Maybe it's time to call trading standards!

  image sensor has failed - send to JVC for repair. sensor is about $40, labor additional. they will give you an estimate before repair.

  PLEASE NOTE!! anyone with a lens cap query should click on my RED link and enter their query along with the MODEL NUMBER of the camcorder concerned in the box provided.
  
  If the query is asked simply by making a posting in this section (under heading of Jon Rubbery) I will not be aware that any new posting have been made, and as such its very unlikely to be answered as I do not check through old postings. (which this section is!)
