HDD Error My JVC hard disk camera is having a HDD error. We have tried to hard drive clean up but it wont let me it keep saying HDD error can you please help

If you are unable to reformat the hard drive using the camera, and the USB drive is not showing up on your PC, there may be an issue with the hard drive itself. You could try using a different USB cable or a different computer to see if the USB drive shows up. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the hard drive.
Before replacing the hard drive, you could try resetting the camera to its factory settings to see if this resolves the issue. You can usually find instructions for how to do this in the user manual for your camera.
If none of these steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service for assistance.

Hi,
first of all my advice is: if you keep any electronics devices without usage for a long period, you must detach the battery/power supply.
in this case I think the hard disk may be faulty, if you can open the camera and takeout the HDD connect with an HDD dock connect the dock to your system, in normal condition your computer will detect the hard disk, if so you can save the contents to your computer or you can format it, if it is not detecting your computer it means the HDD is physically damage. please change it.

The hard drive is defective and needs to be replaced. Unfortunate but its a pretty easy install. Have part on hand.

Replace the cable

I have a problem with no picture with the lens cover open. It seem to record sound but no picture.
It states the lens cover is on but it is open.

2x dvd will work since it records at 2x speed

reformat your hard drive. That way it will correct the error or flag it as a bad sector.

YES try this recovery software

try using the "reset" on the lower area after you open the lcd door...

Let me know if it works.
