Hello Stacy. I sure could use some help fixing this Condensation error problem. I bought extra batteries for it so I would hate to have to buy another camera. I've had the camera to the JVC authorized service people in Dartmouth, NS, two times to fix the problem. The first time, it worked for a bit and then wen't right back to it's old behavior. The second time I took it the service center was after I had done a little work on it myself. I had purchased a service manual, and a second camera, from which I could swap the motherboard. I did that, and the camera worked, but I found out that you have to do some video programming in order for everything to display properly. I swapped the boards back, and the camera worked for a while. I then found out that JVC had issued a connector workaround to take care of the error problem. Meanwhile the camera is acting up again, So I took the camera to the service center and asked them to do the workaround and swap the motherboard, thinking that perhaps I could beat the problem, by having the connector fixed on the second camera motherboard, thus removing the original motherboard from the equation. Well the service people disappointed me again, because they decided just to do the connector and not swap the motherboard. I live 1 1/2 hours away from the service depot and this is what they tell me when I get there. So I didn't use the camera for a while( maybe a year) and when I decided to do some transfers, I get the same old error. If I knew how to do the video sync/programming on the second motherboard, I'd do it in a second. It's no problem for me as I have worked with electronics all my life. I really should get after the service center, but I'm sure they'll just want more money. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, Craig Kinsman
