The message "Lens Cap" appears when the camera is turned on, there is no image to see and it will not record. The model is JVC Mini DV GR-D71 I am having the Lens Cap error as well, on model GR-D71, is this related to the similiar issue that many other people appear to be having? Please forward information on obtaining repair for this issue. Much appreciated!

I would really apreciate your help. Thanks

I am having this same problem with my JVC minidv camcorder, it's model GR-972U, it will play back fine but when i go to record something it tells me the lens cap is on, and it isn't! any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

JVC CCD lens Cap error JFisher - 24th Jan 2007 14:51 Fixed After discovering my cam was not elligible for the free repair offered by JVC, I decided to have a go at repairing it myself. Carefuly took it apart, documenting and labeling the hundreds of screws. Once inside pulled and reconnected each circuit ribbon. Re-assembled...presto, works like new again. By the way, screw you JVC

I have a GR-D72US and today I began experiencing this "Lens Cap" issue. I would like the repair info also.

However this is the link for the US & UK sites. .jvc.com/support/notification/index.jsp?pageID=2 .jvc.co.uk/knowledge-list.php?id=4#0

I have a GR-D70U with the lens cap error, black-grayish distorted screen, recording is very choppy. May I get the procedure you have for this repair. Thanks so much in advance. Jason

Anyone who is intending to request assistance should always remember to indicate what model of camcorder they have, the reason for this being that not every model is applicable for the special repair programme and it saves possibly misleading information being sent to an owner of a model that isn't covered.
