jvc GR-D350U problem

Curt Shramek Posted Nov 14, 2009

Problem

Hi i have a JVC GR-D350U and it has a problem that started on a trip to the philippines, and again when i was using it in my boat and it had gotten over spray on it, and another time i just took it on my boat and never got it wet or at all and a couple other times. I thought it might be a problem with condensation because the philippines is very humid and because of the water splashing on it .But anyways whats its doing is it flashes the symbol of a tape, which i guess its telling me there is no tape in it so i cant record i cant play back cant do anything with it. Until it decides one day or one week up to a month and then i turn it on and works like new until the next time it says no tape is in it. Any help would be appreciated thanks

    This can be possibly (not positively) be caused by the contacts located at the very top of the inside tape loading aperture being oxidised as these are associated with the slot on top of the cassette that determines whether or not to allow recording as well as sensing if a tape is inserted. It can be difficult to see them without the use of a small dental type mirror, but if you can give them a rub with a cotton bud or similar, as although a spray with an electrical cleaner is best the danger is that it will fall onto the cassette spindle mechanism and cause tape slipping. There is another known problem with all "D" plus three digit models and is described below but your symptoms aren't exactly as applies to the following as its associated with a "rogue" e-04 error code, this due to the mechanism not fully completing a transition. Part of info >>>> 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 <<<<
