Yes! but it should be pointed out to anyone reading of your experience that the ribbon cable problem only applies to a small number of models of the DV range, as in all other cases its because a massive batch of later to be discovered, faulty CCD image sensors that were supplied by Sony to JVC that are responsible for 99.9% of these failures. All models in the GR-D / DX / AX / FX / SX / ranges as well as a few odd models are susceptible to developing this fault. I only mention this just in case someone starts to dismantle their camcorder and end up with a disaster that would negate the free repair offer.
