When i turn on the camcorder it says remove lens cap but i have already removed it As soon as I switch on the camcorder in the recording mode, an error message appears on the display "remove lens cap", although it has already been removed. The message disappears immediately, but the LCD display remains black. The camcorder records sounds, but can't record images. As I live in Italy, I have contacted the local customer service, but I doubt I will get assistance from them, since I bought the camcorder in Asia about 16 months ago. After visiting a number of websites dealing with this kind of problems, I realized that my problem is a common one with several Jvc camcorder models, so is there anything I can do? Thank you so much for your advice.
There is a repir thing with certain models see below.

Thanks to pinklady544 for the info - hopefully this will no longer be a left over piece of equipment gathering dust. Below is the information I have been sent via email - you do not need the original receipt, and they pay all costs. So at least JVC (after a long time) have accepted the problem and are rectifying it.

Common problem! The CCD is knackered - you just have to replace it, fiddly with all those tiny screws, so if you are not confident to do it yourself, any camera shop will do it. And charge you a fortune by the way. This is the only solution though. May be cheaper to buy another one.
