Picture is black

Hello, i have the same problem. Have you managed to sort the issue. Many thanks

Hello,

First check if the problem is not from the television by trying to watch a normal channel on it. Once it is confirmed, try to hook up the DVD recorder on another television to see if the black box appears, then you use another set of prongs to connect it to the television to see if that will correct the problem.

If that does not correct the problem, then it simply means there is a hardware problem with the DVD recorder, and it most likely is that there is a bad capacitor on the main board of the recorder, and all you have to do is to replace it with a new one.

Take care and good luck

Have you tried performing a factory reset on your phone?

***What kind of phone are you using?

reset to manufacturers standard settings?

try factory reset

if you have the setting to avi it will not show up, you will get sound but know pic just a black screen, try the dvd setting and the the other dv setting.

Possible stuck button on the camera.
That may be due to some kind of juice, or drink or some such thing getting into the button area.
It may also be due to the fact that the trigger button is not releasing quickly enough.
This will need repairs, and may be more than what you want to spend. For that reason selling it as is or for parts on a site such as Ebay may be your best out.

update firmware

I would try changing the memorised info that you put into your My1 settings and see if that helps. I just got my V700 today and the first thing I did was put my preferences into My1. I don't really know why your camera is transferring this to your video setting but try removing your presettings in My1.

I found out the hard way that you should never use alkaline batteries in a Digital Camera. I thought my camera had a fundamental flaw (power kept going off whenever I tried to take a photo or record a video and the shutter blades half closed) even though it was only 2 months old. I nearly wrote it off but all along the problem was that I was using alkaline batteries, which incidentally were enclosed with the camera in the box!! Once I switched to NiMH (Nickel) batteries the camera worked fine and the fault completely vanished! These NiMH batteries are avaiable in most electrical shops i.e currys/comet in the UK. They must be charged before use. They are more expensive than alkaline batteries (£8-£9 for 4) but as they are rechargable they last a long time.
