If it takes a picture successfully, then your display is bad - more likely the back light inverter. Check your memory card and use a computer that can read it.

You can buy a new LCD and flex cable for $78 at the place Sanyo recomended to me. It takes a week for them to order it and a week to ship out. Call 1-800-421-5080 and give them part # 6450930331.

Mine has the same problem. I took it apart and by pressing on the flex cable my picture was restored. As soon as I let go the screen would go. Trying to decide between replacing the part or the camera.

What model Sanyo camera? What type and size memory card? Just what problem are you encountering? Is there an error message?

Just let it dry in room temperature for a day. Then try switching on. If it still doesn't work take it to a store.

It sounds like your Sanyo camcorder may be experiencing a problem with the loading or ejecting mechanism. This could be caused by a number of issues, including a damaged or broken cassette mechanism, a malfunctioning loading or ejecting motor, or a problem with the camcorder's control board. To troubleshoot the issue, you could try the following:

1. Make sure the camcorder is clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
2. Check the cassette for damage, such as broken or bent spindles, and make sure it is properly seated in the camcorder.
3. Try using a different cassette to see if the problem persists.
4. If the problem persists, you may need to have the camcorder repaired by a professional.

Keep in mind that due to the age of your camcorder, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one rather than repair the old one. However, if the camcorder has sentimental value or is no longer in production, repair may be the best option.

There is a pulley that breaks inside but as these have been obsolete for over 20 years, I doubt it is repairable any more. Fully working VM-D66p for £30 on amazon or fleabay.
