Problem with JVC GR-D70U

Same problem like most cameras. CCD is dead. Need to replace with new CCD. Now the problem is where I can buy this part.

i have a jvc GR.D20EK and am having problems when recording, it plays back but i cannot record it will play recorded tapes can anyone help me. Thanx

Hi, I am not sure. But I believe the camcorder has to be on when you connect to the computer. and I assume you use firewire for this particular camcorder.
I too once had this problem when I used Windows Vista. If you too use Vista, try it with Windows XP.

cheers,

The ccd block is starting to fail. Thats the chip thats the eye of the camcorder at the back of the lense assy. Its mounted on a small circuit board. You can find the chip at parts.com. Its just a matter of dissassembling the camcorder and removing the chip from the board and soldering another onto it taking care not to over heat the chip. You do need good soldering skills.

you'll need to send it in for repairs.

being a fact that JVC camcorders are very trouble prone, it would probably be a better ideal & cheaper to buy a new camcorder.
for your next camcorder purchase, i would stay away from anything made by JVC.

tape guides need to be adjusted.

try some of the XP drivers on here although which one will work is trial and error as your cam is quite old and unlisted, but one of them must work for you, fingers crossed!! http://www.jvc-victor.co.jp/english/download/camcorder/about_winxp.html

your cameras CCD Charged coupled Device is defective go to your nearest jvc service station sandeep

Did you figure this out yet? I am needing help with the same item.
