Question about Sony Handycam DCR-HC30E Mini DV Digital Camcorder
I Have The Same Problem as AJB7 - There is no picure in my view finder or LCD screen. I have all of my display menu's and such, but no picture, and yes the lense cover is down. There is a small eye looking icon in the screen, and I can view old videos, but when I try and record the screen is pitch black even though audio is recording.

I just wanted to say that AceGoodBloke fixed my problem. I had the black screen like the cap was still on and I took a pen (was too lazy to get a screwdriver) and waked a little bit around the lens and it worked. I did this with the camera on so I saw the screen come back on. And let me just say, you dont have to wack right on the glass part of the lens, around it does the trick. Got to love "high tech" solutions! Thanks so much Ace!!!

I had this with my Panasonic NV-DS60. I thought it would be the ribbon cables not making good connections from the camera lens electronics because I had a similar problem with another camera. So I took the whole thing apart and disconnected and reconnected the ribbon cables - unfortuantely this didn't work! So I thought there may be another connection I couldn't see so I tapped around the lens area with a hard object (tip of a screwdriver) and it worked! It may be well worth you tapping the case in this way (without pulling the camcorder to bits) on the top, about an inch back from the front of the lens a couple of times. I'm not an expert, but it worked for me! Obviously, don't hit it hard enough to damage it. Good Luck

The Sanyo HD1-PVC Black Screen problem can be corrected by cleaning the iris blades. The lubrication on the blades has set, and caused the blades to close and stay shut. The onboard motor is not strong enough to overcome this setting of the grease.
Have them cleaned and leave them ungreased.

I can only speak for the Canon zr60, but if you call the toll free Customer Service number and describe the problem (which is a bad CCD) they will not only replace it at no cost, but will email you a shipping label, so it costs you nada. I use these in my classroom and have had at least a dozen repaired in the past couple of years. Also, the tech suggests that you run a head cleaner thru for 10 seconds, every few hours of use and always use the same brand of tape, as each company uses a different lubricant in their tapes and it can cause a gummy substance to build up that can cause tape transport problems (tapes getting stuck).

I think the image sensing IC is defective if the lens block is functional. We can support you for service manuals and original sony spares. Stay in touch and refer the camera to experienced service professionals.

We have a problem with our sony DCR-HC30. It records sound but absolutely no picture on the LCD screen or in the view finder with the lens cover open
I have problem with my sony dcr-trv 265e. All the menus are ok. Playback is ok.but when switch on to camera there is no picture coming out.Sound is recording. Please tell me what is the problem.

I Have The Same Problem as AJB7 - There
is no picure in my view finder or LCD screen. I have all of my display
menu's and such, but no picture
theres no picture coming out everything else works fine but now its jsut black.
Ditto!!! No clue.
Any idea on how to fix the problem of no video or image when shooting? I have the Sanyo Xacti HD1.
I have two JVC cameras to make ameteur videos. Both have the same problem, and they are only two years old. The screen says that the lens cap is on. I have treated the cameras very well. (No dropping, water, etc.) Is there any way to get them fixed cheaply?
I turned on the camcorder by putting it on "camera," pushed the "menu" button, and tried to resolve the problem by changing the various available options for the LCD panel. I also tried to find help by looking at a hard copy of the users manual. Nothing worked for me.
I have the same problem [no display. just black screen], except I can't watch my old videos either.
Have this problem called JVC and if it falls under the ccd program, basically no picture while filming or error message blinking they fix it for free. You have to send camcorder in with your information. I would call them first though. :-)
no picture on screen or view finder I can viewmy old recording ok
cannot get a picture through the viewfinder or lcd monitor.
when I turn on camera I get a blank screen the lens cover is open.
I cannot record as the viewfinder and LCD screen is black even though the Lens Cover is open. However if I wait for about an hour the camera appears to work fine.
