JVC Video camera Model: GR-D91U not able to record. Can play back.

MY JVC Video Camera (Model: GR-D91U) can play back on its LCD screen but it cannot seem to record. The LCD screen in normal / record mode is black (it thinks the lens cap is there). If I try and view things through the view finder (once pulled back) it also is black and it thinks the lens cap is on even though it is not. It once was flakey where it would intermittantly work bout now it simply does not work at all. What will it take to fix this? Anyone know if this can be a cheap fix?



Thanks,


-David

"It once was flakey where it would intermittantly work bout now it simply does not work at all." The lcd viewing panel flips open and shut. Sounds like a break in the flexible pcb or connections to that area. Here's how you can confirm that, set the cam to rec mode and open the lcd panel half way, adjusting slowly between 1/4 and 3/4ths way open, until the "lense cap on" alert goes away and u see a picture. Prolly a break in the CCDs output signal path to LCD block. Jango

No video in camera mode - JVC has had lots of bad CCD imager chips. Maybe you can get JVC to cover it.
