I had the same problem with the VL-NZ50. It wasn't the camera, it was the IEEE 1394 interface on the laptop(s) - I tried two different ones, one XP, the other W7 64; both were HPs with on-board (OHCI compliant) TI IEEE-1394 chipsets.
Then I tried a Gateway desktop (Vista) with an on-board Ricoh IEEE 1394 interface: the VL-NZ50 was recongnized instantly, controlled by the PC and transferring video flawlessly.
If you want it to work with your laptop , try an Adaptec PCMCIA card (I've heard they work with this camera), they can be had for under $10.

if cleaning works ? retire your old tapes , or
your heads may need replacement - sooner rather
than later ;
