just buy a new TV, because its costly for repairing

Throw a new tape in, record then playback right away, then you'll know for sure if it's the camcorder or tapes for erased.

what discs are you using as they need to be compatible with the recorder, some discs are one time recording others are + or - and some are rewritable, there is also settings for format that have to be set for the discs.

Your lack of patience is entirely irrelevant to the situation. The noise may well be from ambient wind in an outdoor situation.

It is telling you that the scene is too bright for the current settings - use a smaller aperture, or a lower ISO rating

Contact Samsung, enquire of them. They will have details of all authorised dealers.

Try a head cleaning cartridge.

How much RAM does your computer have ? Video editing software is notoriously heavy on memory.

I think you may need the software driver for whatever operating system the p.c is using . Windows may need a driver as Apple is very versatile at detecting hardware and basically just works.

This appears to be a television, not a camcorder.You may find more relevant advice by posting in a domestic electronics forum.

It will need a working battery even when connected to any external power source. You will have to replace the battery

It is old equipment, and a replacement is only £9.99 on Ebay

Try lithium batteries
See my tips Why Low Power Warning For Full Charged Batteries

I am grateful to Mr. beck ham for his fix involving the date and time. I read his answer and realized that I, too, left my camera on a shelf for a long time and I also didn't have a lithium battery installed.

When reading about his proposed solution, I knew that I didn't have a DV cable. I also knew that my computer doesn't have a DV port and so I would to buy a card, plus a cable. This was going to get expensive.

I called Samsung. They acted like the camera would have to be sent in for repairs of course. 110.00. No thank you.

Then an idea came to me. If the issue had to do with the date and time being lost because of not having the lithium battery, maybe if I put a battery in, it might solve the problem. But didn't seem likely.

Before going to the store to get a battery, I thought what the heck... I'm going to go into the menu settings and set the date and time. Can't hurt.

Guess what? My viewfinder and LCD screen are working now! I didn't have to connect my camcorder to a computer to reset anything. All I had to do was set my date and time!
