Suddenly it just wont playback. when I'm trying to playback on VCR mode it shows black on the LCD screen, I can see the displayed timecode battery etc. but the timecode is not running. I can run the video cassette back or forward or play it but still it shows black screen and the timecode is not running. There is not a problem with the LCD, it is working fine on camera mode. Also while trying to record every thing sounds and looks OK but the timecode is not running as well. Of course, I can not know if anything was recorded... I tried watching a prerecorded tape but it is still that black screen. Also i tried head cleaning cassette but it didn't solve the problem. please help me!

I have the exact same problem with a panasonic NV-GS50. If i give the camera a smack it usually fixes the problem. hope this helps
