Canon MV600i Mini DV Digital Camcorder Questions & Answers
Cassette deck will not open
It could be three things: 1) This can occur for when the image reading head of the camera is dirty and dusty, and the rubber rollers that drive the tape get contaminated as well. Either can result in the tape itself becoming caught on a rubber roller, (it wraps around the roller 10 or so times because the roller is driven by a motor) until the tape rolls expand the rollers outer diameter until it jams, and then jams the opening lever, or mechanism.
Fixing is difficult, as access to the (usually 2) screws that connect the cassette holder to the opening mechanism may only be accessible when the door is open. Look under stickers or plugs on the front of the door, and if the screws are there, carefully remove the door and unwind the jammed tape. Your cassette will play again after you clean the rollers and heads with a suitable cleaning kit from the supplier, but there will be image damage when the crumpled part of the tape gets played.
Be aware that forcing the door will usually snap the tape
which would then require re-splicing back together, and
it can also damage the heads and roller, but sometimes sacrificing the tape and taking this risk may be the only option.
Possibility 2) The internal 'door release clip' may have bent, broken or snapped a spring. Try toggling the 'open' button (if it is a mechanical buttonl) whilst gently prising open the cassette door with a thin knife. 3) If all buttons are electronic press buttons, try fresh batteries.
Failing all the above, consider a full service from your service depot or store.

Mv600i digital video camcorder - no image on lcd screen in cam or playback mode
please someone help with this. My camcoder works very well when watching things I've filmed before but when I want to record it does not function. All I get on the LCD screen is the blue screen with Canon on it and through the lens it is black. The lens cap is of course removed. Then when I turn the red button to off position the camcoder does not turn off and the screen remains blue. I have to remove the battery to turn it off.
I've had my camera for 4 years and I filmed so many precious family moments in it.
Blank lcd screen
wires have come off the ccd !
canon will fix free of charge,go to canon support
After dissasembling a Canon MV600i the unit will not power up
If you are absolutely sure that you have all cables hooked up and hooked to the correct plugs, and also you know positively that the battery or power source is putting out the proper power, then I would suggest that you look at each cable again and make sure that they are inserted fully and correctly. By correctly I mean to look at the ribbon cable when it is removed to determine which side the metal contacts are on. The cables which push in only have metal tangs on one side. The cable plugs only have metal contacts on one side also, usually the part which does not face the board. It is a common mistake to face the metal side of the ribbon cable towards the board (you would think they would be designed to go that way). This would be wrong in most circumstances and would not allow the signal to pass. Connectors which require you to lever up a lock away from the board usually hook up opposite to what I just described. That is why I say to check each one again. If you look at each ribbon cable you can determine which side has the metal tangs, then look at the plug and determine which side has the metal contacts, match the two together and you have it. Removing each ribbon cable, checking for proper orientation, and reinserting fully should solve your problem if you have truly not missed any wires. I find that a little bit of electrical cleaner on the cable end makes the wire insert easier and less chance of damage as well as hopefully cleaning any oxide off the connectors on the way in. Good luck.

How to remove a tape out of a canon es55 that will not power up even if the battery is charged
If you suspect that your JVC camcorder may have been damaged by plugging in the wrong power cord, it's possible that the cassette mechanism may not release as intended. However, you can try the following steps to manually release the cassette:
- Turn off the camcorder: Make sure the camcorder is turned off and unplugged from any power source.
- Locate the cassette release button: The cassette release button is usually located on the side or bottom of the camcorder near the cassette compartment. It may be labeled "eject" or have a symbol that looks like a triangle with an arrow pointing up.
- Press the cassette release button: Press and hold the cassette release button for several seconds to see if it releases the cassette. You may need to press it firmly or use a pointed object like a pen or pencil to press it.
- Manually release the cassette: If the cassette release button does not work, you can try manually releasing the cassette. Look for a small hole on the camcorder near the cassette compartment. This hole may be labeled "emergency release" or have a symbol that looks like a triangle with an arrow pointing down. Insert a straightened paperclip or similar object into the hole and press gently to release the cassette.
If you are unable to manually release the cassette, it's possible that the camcorder has been damaged beyond repair.
My CANON MV940 DIGITAL VIDEO CAMCORDER cant charge.....when i plug it in the battery charge indicator does not flash or light up
If your Canon MV940 digital video camcorder is not charging when you plug it in, there are a few things you can check to try to determine the cause of the issue:
- Check the power adapter: Make sure that the power adapter is securely plugged into the camcorder and that the outlet you are using is working. Also, check that the adapter is not damaged or malfunctioning.
- Check the battery: Make sure that the battery is inserted correctly and that it is not damaged or worn out. If the battery is old or has been used for a long time, it may no longer hold a charge and will need to be replaced.
- Check the charging port: Make sure that the charging port on the camcorder is clean and free of debris. If there is debris blocking the port, use a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to clean it out.
- Check the battery terminals: Make sure that the terminals on the battery are clean and free of debris or oxidation. Clean the terminals using a soft-bristled brush or a pencil eraser.
- Check the firmware: If the problem persists, check to see if your camcorder's firmware is up to date. If it isn't, update it.
If you've tried all of these steps and you still cannot charge your camcorder, it's possible that there is a hardware issue with the camera. In this case, you may need to contact Canon support for further assistance.
