Evan Cox Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I have a JVC GR-D30U miniDV camera. It worked quite well for some time, but now it does not. When I turn it on, I get all the little digital lights and such, but the screen is black, as if I had left the lensecap on (though I did not). IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SAVE IT?

Guest Charlie Seper Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Try making sure you have it set for AVI out instead if in. Even though you generally get at this through the "play" menu it'll still effect your recording. I don't have the same model as you but that's what I'd look at first.

Evan Cox Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 I can find no such option on my play menu, or any of the other menus, but thanks for trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collier Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Try to attach a monitor to the output and see if the camera has any video signal. If not your block could be messed up. Also try and record something and see if it puts anything other than black video to tape. It could just be the LCD, but it sounds like it could be worse than that.

Evan Cox Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 I connected it to my t.v. and it was black, I tried to record something and it came out black. I'm completely stumped. I sent a message to the JVC guys, but they don't seem to like to talk much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like all you can do is see the repair guys a jvc they do have a hotline but are truly hard to reach I have been working with that camera model through many wedding and comercial productions, and found the image quality impressive for the price. I have no other Idea than there must be something broken. Do you still have the warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
