Problem with JVC DX76AG

When I turn my camcorder on I just get a blank screen - first it tells me to remove the lens cap (but it isn't on). I can play back what I have recorded so screen seems to be OK, but I can't see anything via screen or viewer. Any suggestions?

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.

The camcorder is on and the lens cap is removed there is still a message on the screen telling me to remove the lens cap. The screen remains black and only the words are visible

I have a JVC camcorder and have had it fixed 3 times for the same problem, I would suggest setting it up for service. I am glad I bought the extra warranty with mine.

This could be two things:

I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER!
this is a strange method so bare with me (found the solution on another site)
turn on the camera and then hold it upside down then for want of a better word "tap" the camera near the lens (i tapped the mic in front of the flash) and hey presto your image will return!
dont ask me what this does as i have no clue, it might have the same error after you switch off the cam but just follow the same method and it will show images. or if your not happy giving your camera a slap then speak to JVC or any camera repair centre.
heres then link where i found this solution

Lens cap?

Try removing the battery, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. That may reset the lens cap sensor.

My handycam will record sound but no image Hey folks, A friend has given me his old Sony Handycam DCR-TRV33, telling me it ''does not work''. Fortunately everything seems to work okay but when i try and record new footage, only the sound comes through and i get only a black image as footage. I remember trying to find solutions online a while back and saw on an old forum that it might be the sensor that fell out of alignment with the lens (please correct me if i'm wrong). Would it be worth the shot to try and get it repaired nowadays? I just do not want to pay too much as i could just buy another secondhand handycam instead.

Sony DCR-DVD200 camcorder messed up lens. Very distorted and blurry. Hey. I have a Sony DCR-DVD200 camcorder that's unable to record video or take pictures. The lens is messed up on both the LCD and the viewfinder. Instead of showing whatever I'm trying to record, it just shows either a black screen or horizontal black and white streaks depending on what I'm trying to record. I was only able to get the display to properly work once the first time I turned it on, but after that, the display's all messed up. I've tried pressing the reset button, using it both with and without a Mini DVD inside of it, using it with the lens cover off, and lightly hitting its sides with the palm of my hand. So far, nothing has worked. Can you please help me fix my camcorder?
