Question about Samsung SC-D23 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

SCD23 LCD screen tiles and so does the video upon playback.

I have tried a mini-dv head cleaner and nothing. I have recently become aware of the CCD problem with Samsung camcorders. Does this sound like my problem or something else???

Sonys jvc's samsungs all have their ccd imager problems, In your model however I have seen the connector on the ccd board detach itself from the pcb and just needs to be soldered back down.

Gray horizontal lines across the screen in playback is symptom of dirty / clogged video head and you need to use good quality mini-dv video head cleaning tape to clean video head.

Nothing in viewfinder or on screen

Same thing happened to me. Seems to be 'common' although Sony says they have no recall on the CCD. Look around the forum and you will find others with the same problem.

Mosaic picture during playback

either use a manufacturer recommended head cleaning tape or have a tech give it a good hand cleaning. Panasonic head cleaning tapes work well.

Playback

That's dirty video head! Try to playback new tape for five minutes, do it for 2 to 3 times, this will serve as your videohead cleaner. eject then reinsert then playback, eject again for at least 3 to five times. most camera has a built in videohead cleaner that activates during eject, initial play and reinsert mode. you can even try to play the whole blank tape! thats 1 to 2 hours of playback! If the problem is still there after doing those things, you need pro fix then.

Cannot playback hi8 ccd trv107e pal

Dirty video head! Playback newly opened blank tape for five minutes, after that eject, reinsert, playback then eject again five times, these will serve as your video head cleaner, never use "video head cleaning cassette tape" for it will only damage your camera. Most camera has built in video head cleaner installed inside and activates only when you insert, initial play/rec, and ejects a tape. If the problem is still there you need pro fix then.[:0)

Camera records only sound

This is a known issue with this model Samsung camcorder. Please contact Smasung customer service to arrange to have the camera shipped to them for a CCD replacement. There should be no charge for this repair as Samsung is well aware of the issue. Hope this help you out. Joe Weibel customelectronics.org
