Sounds like a bad lcd panel. Does the camera show a picture when connected to the tv? If it has a picture on the tv and not on the camera itself its definitely gonna be in the lcd panel or lcd panel cable area, and yes it can be fixed and worth it. I hope this helps

What's the problem?

Are you saving to the micro SD card or to the HDD? You need to go into your menu options to ensure that you are saving to the HDD automatically. Sometimes I used to save to the SD for pics and the HDD for video (set up in the menu). Maybe you are deleting the HDD files but automatically recording to the full SD card?! Check

It is possible that the motor drive of the zoom lens is struck , faulty or even if the drive has failed.
So you will need to open to confirm if the lens drive is struck or if the motor or drive is faulty.
To open and check for the fault is to be done with precision as youmust not end up tampering the set. So my advice is to manual zoom as other functions are in order than to waste money on checking this out..

Install google picassa3 (which is free software from google)....use this for all your pics...it's really easy to use and allows you to email pics instantly as it prepares the files for email (quickly).

Videos.....try and download JVC everio Power Cinema software which came originally with the camera - or source it online. I have a problem with mine at the moment, as it will write the video files to DVD but not the sound.

hi, i do'nt know how old it is, but, the head may need cleaning. these C D cleaners have 2 little brushes and you get cleaning fluid plus cleaning pad. gerry

If they're saved to the HDD then you should be able to access them via your computer using the Power Cinema software for videos. Use google picassa 3 (free download) to extract your pics.

If items have been saved to the micro SD card...put this card into an adapter and put it directly into your pc.

Otherwise....send it to a dealer!

The HDD camcorder should not required software. Just plug in the camcorder into your computer via USB cable and it will detect it as a removable drive. Copy the files in the folder. If you do not know which one is the video file, run a 'search' in the removable drive folder for any file >500k and the these files will appear.

Otherwise, it is known that China has so many software shops. Have your own judgement whether they are illegal or not. You should be able to find what you want.

Check your battery contacts and camera's battery terminals for some dirt. If not from there, your battery needs replacement. When buying new one, test it first before leaving the store, its because even new one(old stock) might have the same problem. Good luck
