I bought a GR-D73AS camcorder in Japan during a business trip but the camcorder recently started giving me black or blank screens with stripes.Old recordings play perfectly. HELP PlEASE! Looking for a service dealer near or in Cape Town - SA
Your older recordings will only play on a pal monitor / tv ; if the camera video is ok now ? your tape heads may be dirty , wearing out - or both ; try a cleaning tape first but - do not rewind cleaning cassettes , or the old grime will be put back on the cleaned heads and guides ;

This is usually caused by a defective CCD image sensor and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired qualified service technician.
My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

I have similar/same problem. Playback OK. No image on recording.
Local repairer in Port Elizabeth SA says problem is with CCD but he cannot get assistance from JVC under warranty or spares at a decent price.
I am looking for second hand GR-D73AS where the CCD still works or a replacement CCD.
