Upside down viewfinder image in jvc miniDV camera

Hi. My 6 year old jvc camcorder now has permanently upside down images on the viewfinder - was fine only 2 days ago. It now also records images upside down. Sometimes when the screen is opened it stays correct for 1-2 secs then flips over. Also, almost every tape used (even brand new ones) get chewed/stuck when rewinding giving an EO3 error. Many valuable tapes have been damaged this way. Only serviced last year! Please advise - still worth fixing again??
Thanks.

SOURCE: JVC GR-DX25EK camcorder

JVC has issued a notice on many models that bring up a "lens cap" error. However, the GR-DX25EK is not included. The model you have posted on its page(GR-DX95) is though. This problem is still very common with models that aren't on the said list, given that and the fact that your model is from the same series, you might get some consideration from JVC. No harm in trying. The listed models get a free repair. Heres a link to the notice from JVC: http://www.jvc.com/support/notification/index.jsp?pageID=2 Good luck

The image is flipped upside down and won't go back I think the camera might have been dropped

THIS IS A REPAIR SHOP TASK

normally there is a micro switch fixed at the awivl head of the lcd panel. when the lcd is rotated to 180 the switch gets engaged thus turns the image upside down. iF IT IS PERMANENTLY UPSIDE DOWN yhen most probably the switch has worn out.and its not resetting.
You could try a few gentle taps to see if it releases the micro switch

Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Blur in viewfinder

Hi, i had the same problem and was suggested i visited the JVC website, this could be the manufacturers error reported on their web site. Failure of the CCD image sensor. Check JVC UK web site, support centre, if your camcorder has the problems listed, until 01/10/07 they will cover repairs. Mine now works ok. Hope this helps
