Problem with blue screen on my SharpVL-AX1 camcorder-video+playback does not work, but I can take still images with no problem

I have tried and use cassette cleaner to clean the head only once, but no result. I can take still pictures with no problem, but my video screen first started to pixolate, then the screen during recordings went mozaik-pixels and now it is only blue even if I try to playback any of good cassettes, it is only blue and does not work anymore. I cannot record any more of video/and see any playback. could you help?Should I try to clean the head with the cassette few times? What else could be the problem? There is nothing wrong with still images, only with video recording...last time I recorded in Egypt... thanks a lot for your help All the best jana

I have a Canon ZR200 camcorder and when I try to playback all I get is the blue screen. When I set to record, I get the images in the LCD view finder. The playback makes it seem like the tape is blank,...

When you're recording do you see any indication that recording is actually happening, like a blinking icon in the viewfinder?

Sony CCD-TRV65. Blue screen during playback

Just bought the exact one from a yard sale for 20 bucks. Had the very same problem with the blue screen on playback. What i did is replace the battery in the small bay when you open the viewfinder. Try playing your tape again and it will work!

Blue screen on playback on Sony DCR-HC40

You can see an image in a camcorder viewfinder any time the camera's actually on in record mode, whether or not the camcorder is actually recording. So that's no guarantee.

Assuming the obvious (you have the right kind of tapes, they're not in write-protect mode, you rewind before playing, etc). I recommend that you borrow a tape of the same kind from someone else and check it on playback in your camcorder. This should lead you know understand if you have a playback problem or a recording problem.
