Christmas URGENCY: monitor/viewfinder: blue screen, lines of white dashes

For no apparent reason camera refused to play tape; shows blue screen WITH lines of white dashes. Indicates it is recording (i hear slight whirring sound), but nothing recorded. Viewfinder/monitor show image of what the camera is pointed at.
HELP ! I was planning to digitize old home (VHS) movies for family Christmas presents. Now, I think I'm SOL.

LCD shows stripes thus the picture is not complete
Mine was similar - with vertical black lines on playback. Visit Bristolcameras.co.uk, enter your make and model and ask for a head cleaner. They sent me one within 4 days and that was over the Christmas period. Reasonably priced too (£3.50 + p&p) and the whole head cleaner can be used up to twice once the tape has gone from beginning to end.

Powershot pro1 viewfinder show blank white
Hi
When the LCD screen is open the viewfinder will switch of and when it is closed the viewfinder will switch on. You can switch between the two by pressing Monitor select button to the left of the Eyepiece (Viewfinder). as you look at the back of the camera.

Hope this helps.
