                  I have the same error message " lens cap needs to be removed"  and of course it is not on.  I have been told also that it will cost $300 to repiar.  
I do believe that if this is a chip problem then JVC should repair at no cost. 
My GRd72u is only 2 years old.

    I have the same problem.  Pulled out the camera for Christmas and I get the same error message about the lens cap.  It will record sound, but no picture.  If this is a manufacturing "chip" problem, why isn't JVC stepping up to the plate?  I won't pay $300 to fix it.  I'll go purchase something more reliable.

    I have the same problem.  My camera is about 3 years old, but I have less than 100 hours of use with it.  I took it out to record Christmas and nothing but a black screen with the same error message.  I tried everything and even did a camera reset.  Nothing worked.  I can view previously recorded tapes in the "play" mode, so it isn't the video portion that isn't working.  When I do record, the camera will record the sound but no picture!   Reply |
