Re: JVC GR-DVM70 U ERROR E04

JB38 Posted Jan 26, 2009, in response to:MR

E-04 is an indication that there is a problem with data transfer between the video drum and the associated circuitry, with one of the possible reasons for this code being a bad connection on the ribbon cable that couples the two items together, that is excluding the possibility of the actual drum being at fault. However another apparent rogue (false)indication of E-04 is known to appear on non "M" models caused by the mechanism not fully completing an operation, like for example "loading or unloading" and when this happens mechanism position sensors do not send the appropriate signal to the logic circuits which respond in the way they would if the mechanism was jammed and shut down the system to save damage. To put it in a nutshell, if pressing "slightly" on any part of the mechanism that moves from one position to another (loading door etc), or "lightly" thumping the bottom of the camcorder with your hand does not clear the fault then it requires an element of dismantling to enable proper fault finding to be carried out. Not saying the latter (rogue) applies in your case, but just mentioned it in case it did.

    I just wanted to say Thanks for your input. I went to use my DVM-70 the other day and got this E04 error and was down in the dumps about my camera going belly up again. i don't use this camera very often, I just spent $400 to get it fixed when it failed just before going on a trip to Europe. So I've spent more then what the camera is now worth today. When this E04 error came up I was ready to sell it on Ebay. But my better judgement said "see if someone on the net knows wht it means before I do something stupid". So I found your post and gave it the palm hit and WOW it's working? Is it fixed or was was it just a glitch? Anyway thanks for the simple no cost fix.
