From Jeffs comment in Aug o4; ////It really works!! The "beat the hell out of your camera" method. //// I followed the advice of using a long foam q-tip with head cleaner alcohol to clean the "condensation" eye which is located in a slightly different location on my old DVL 307 circa 01, but from descriptions found her, I was able to clean it. Then after no change I chose the "hit it in the speaker with the battery" plan. Presto, after leaving the camera overnight while I charged my one hour and my four hour batteries, I came home from work to find Voila, turn on power, no error message, tape inserts ok and records and ejects. Thanks to al;l of you who posted this info, a great resource you all are. Steve, April 28,2008, with a 6 year old JVC camcorder back to life.
