I have a GR-D850U model JVC and its giving a message Unit in safeguard mode. How can I have this fixed ?

There should be an error code star with E-01 to E-06.Below is an example you have to make sure that which error code showing on your camera
Whenever some abnormal signal is input to the syscon CPU,
an error number (E01, as an example) is displayed on the
LCD monitor or (in the electronic view finder).
In every error status, such the message as shown below
E01 LOADING--------
1. The mechanism is locked during mode shift.
2. The mechanism is locked at the mechanism loading
end, because the encoder position is skipped during
mechanism mode shift.
3. No power is supplied to the loading MDA

SURE ITS NEED SERVICE YOU CAN TAKE TO ANY AUTHERISED SERVICE CENTRE.
BEFORE THAT MAKE SURE THE CASSETTE IS NOT STUCKING INSIDE THE MECHANISUM. THERE SHOULD BE AN ERROR CODE ON THE DISPLY UNIT START WITH E-01 TO E-06

oh me MINE did that exact same thing UNIT IN SAFEGUARD.. grrrrrrrrrrr.. YEP NEW CAMERA TIME.. sometimes they tell you that those battery cahrgers will work but it all really just defects them

According to http://www.techlore.com/article/10974/JVC-Camcorder-Stuck-in-Safe-Mode/,

"JVC notes that you are also given a malfunction code when the unit is placed into safeguard. If it displays code 01, 02, or 06 you should remove
the battery and powersupply and wait for a while. Code 03 and 04 indicate that you should eject and reinsert the tape.

If neither of these solutions work, your only alternative is to bring it to a shop or send it to JVC for diagnosis or repair. Unfortunately, there is no other way to clear the condition."

If you are getting E03 or E04 errors on every tape you try, it sounds like a servicing is required.

I solved the problem! Open the video cassette door. Look closely at the gear mechanism and see if there is any small debris in the gears. If not, using a magnifying glass and a paper clip(must stretch it out and use the tip) gently move each gear(gently). I had my unit ON. Once I moved the gear it became unstuck and ejected Mini DV cassette. I then re-inserted the cassette and it worked. The dreaded SAFEGAURD MODE message was gone and it is as good as new.

Be Blessed

Unit stuck in safeguard mode

There is any error code displying on the lcd screen?

The error E01 refers to loading motor problem. The camera will have to be taken to a JVC agent for repair.
