casette compartment is not working. actually it opens but the casette is not coming out of that compartment. any solutions?
Dew
Model: VL-Z800 Sharp ViewcamZ
I was in Shanghai in Dec 2008 over Christmas and I experienced the 'DEW' problem. The cassette tape door would not close either. I did not experience this before even after 2 years. I suppose the cold & the rain water causes the dew to accumulate in the CAM.
Solution.
I did the reset by taking out the small tiny battery situated just above the big battery. The small battery has a cover. Pull it up & Get the small battery out and the whole camera resets. Re-entering the date & time is the only inconvenience. After reseting, I could use it again, but not for long as the problem comes back. When I came back to Malaysia (Temp 32-34 degrees celsius), the DEW problem disappappers.
You could also try this method to get rid of the dew. Buy a small sack of rice. Yes rice, the uncooked ones. Cut open a small opening just big enough to put your CamCorder into the sack. If you do not want to get your CAM dirty, wrap the CAM with tissue paper. Close the opening with a musking tape and leave it a few days. The dew should disappear from the CAM. It works for mobile phones too when it is accidentally drop into water. Of cause you should not switch on the mobile when it is still wet. It will self distruct if you do. Try the rice solution for a week before you on your mobile.

Won't close
On mine I turned off the cam and then plugged it in using cord provided.It worked so I was guessing that either the battery was down or that it just needed reset.I actually just got mine so I am not completely sure that this will work for everyone.

Can I ask what software is giving you this message?
Try this, insert your disk, double click on My Computer, then right click on your DVD drive and select Open. Do you see anything at all?
