My JVC GZ-MG27U does not come on, not matter what. I've been using it for about 2 years without a problem, when I use the battery nothing, i try to charge it and there is still nothing, its not even working with the electrical cord.

The only thing that happens is that as i'm about to put in the battery and the plates touch, there's a blue flicker and that's it.

I have a JVC-D32 I purchased through HSN and upon turning it on it displays a lens cap notation and I have a darkened screen. Please let me know what if anything can be done about it. You can contact me through Diamondgirlshari@yahoo.com Thanks, Shari

We've got the same problem with our JVC GR-D33 Camcorder but it's the 11th of Feb 2008 and according to the notes on this site, the "free fix" deadline was the 31st of December 2007. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! lola.az@gmail.com

Apparently this same problem exists on many different models. I have a JVC grd72u. I called JVC @ 800-252-5722. I selected the "Corrective Action Program" prompt from the automated attendent. I spoke to a customer service rep. They are aware of the problem and are fixing it for free, but only until 12/31/07. I suggest you call ASAP and get your name in the computer. If the problem is something besides the CCD sensor, they will call you with the estimate to repair.

sounds like you have a broken Vcc (Capture chip)

This fault is not user repairable, Check with your manufacturer if this item is within warranty, if so then the manufacturer should fix this for free, if not then you will need to have this serviced by a Jvc Service partner.
