How do I get a tape out of my dead JVC GR-C7U

Clean it bro

Remove battery
Press and HOLD Eject as you place battery back on (so its the first command it recognizes with power) and try to eject. If it does not come out, camera will need service to remove tape or fix gears

Indeed it seems that there was a really stubborn bit of dirt on the heads. I had to use the cleaning tape several times to ultimately have a clear picture on record and playback.
thanks again ,but successive cleaning can help for an effective cleaning of the tape path and heads.

how can I connect connect my jvc digital mini dv camcorder model no. GR-D370AS to my computer. i want to be able to convert my tape to disc.

there is a fuse blown it happens alot just make sure when you send it in that the shop is a certified jvc or a jvc only repair shop some places fix alot of different brands of cameras and sometimes you might not get it fixed right away because of the workload or not at all

This worked for VHS camera once: If you know where or can find a heated de-humidifier try that (first). Or put it in an oven which has been warmed up and then turned off. Let the oven cool down to about 160F first. Take out the battery, tape and memory card. Leave it in for a couple of hours or until back to room temp. Make sure you don't forget it. Look for a re-set button inside the where the tape is inserted. Check you manual for its location. Then try it. If it works you're lucky.

note error codes displayed - if camera shuts off immediately ; if tape is inserted ? put camera to your ear and apply power : if more than one motor sounds ( or sounds ' jerky ' ) your tape may be damaged - no user serviceable options left ; if no tape is inserted ? check with stacy sample at jvc factory service in houston , texas - for possible warranty updates .

Usually when the recording is started it takes around 10 to 15 seconds for the camera to recognise and display the duration of remaining tape, if you feel there is a problem, try using different brand tape.
