JVC Camcorder Repair

My kid has a JVC VHS Camcorder, Model GR-SXM250U which stopped working... the image through the lens doesn't appear on the LCD display and instead it reports that the lens cover is on which, of course, it isn't.

I am hesitant to take it apart because of my preconceived notions that it will be intricate, full of proprietary circuits, and nearly impossible to troubleshoot without a manual/circuit diagram.

Since it is older analog model, my presumption also is that it would cost more to have it professionally repaired than to buy a new one.

Has anyone had any experience with one of these or a similar one? Or point me to a source of information?

Thanks.

Jules,

Thanks so much. It looks like that is exactly the problem and the fix. I had begin to research the subject and found some other references to a class action suit because of the widespread nature of the problem, but I hadn't found this one. Looks like JVC got proactive to head off the suit.

Thanks again for the pointer.
