Same Problem

-   I have a JVC GR-D71 and am having the same problem.-   blm1968

-   I have a JVC GR-D33U. I am experiencing the same problem. I can play back previously recorded material. The machine functions properly (all the icons, date and time on the LCD), except for the fact that it seems as though the lens cap is still on when it is not. I get a black field where there should be an image. I tried the tapping... to no avail.-   ssumbrella

-   I have either the same problem or a similar one.  My ZR 85 will play back tapes on my viewer screen, but when I attempt to record, nothing shows up on the screen or through the view lenz although the sound is there.-   Guest

NAAAA all of my years I have never had a ccd open up where you got no picture at all!! Most of the times its a small line or discoloration or a pixle or a group of pixles out. The most common problems with a camcorder that has no picture on the camera is a stuck shutter or iris. you can turn on the camcorder and tap on the lens around the middle and sometimes it will open up. now if this fails then you have failed capacitors in the camera section and most of the time it dosent pay to repair as the entire board has toi be replaced. sorry windman sorry silly girl.

If its really a CCD like the previous post suggested(very possible), then you won't be able to do this yourself, unless you're really handy with these things, and can manage getting your hand on a replacement CCD(bog knows how you fix them if at all;)

Good luck!

- just an example of a CCD turning all black: "Fuji Photo Film USA has announced a service advisory notice for four of its digital cameras. The FinePix S2 Pro Digital, FinePix A303, F410 and F700 may all develop a problem with the CCD sensor, which leads to captured images that appear completely black(!), have a purplish cast or multi-colored distortions. Fuji USA will repair all affected cameras (serial numbers are listed below) free of charge, even if the one-year warranty has expired."

Same kind of bug with many other companies that probably used the same CCD
