Won't close My Sharp miniDv VL-Z1 camcorder has two problems: 1. If I put a tape in then it will not close automatically, if I "encourage" it to close then it pops right back open 2. When I turn it on to start shooting it will not record and the screen has a smal dew symbol on it What it wrong!? I have only had it for 2 years and do not use it often....but sure would like to. I did leave the battery in for a long time between uses too. Thanks so much- techless wonder!

On mine I turned off the cam and then plugged it in using cord provided.It worked so I was guessing that either the battery was down or that it just needed reset.I actually just got mine so I am not completely sure that this will work for everyone.

Cassette holder does not close

Try inserting another tape first. If the trouble is still there,Defective mechanism, a stucked mechanism is present. camcorder are smart it can detects error and shuts down itself for safety. earlier models dominoes the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
