Need to have camcorder fix it's a VM-D6P cassette door won't open and viewfinder showing flashing gray/black does anybody know of anyone.

SOURCE: Cassette will not load!

I have one doing the same thing. I called Cannon and the told me I would have to send it in for service. Now after reading that about 10 other folks having the same issue, I think Cannon has some issue with the ZR100.

SOURCE: No display in viewfinder and LCD

sorry to say but the problem of your camera is the ccd image sensor....go to a service center for replacing it...

SOURCE: Sony Mini camcorder DCR-HC21 problem with LCD and viewfinder. need help ASAP!!

i have the same problem,i opened the camera, i have taken out the flexible cable, its broken at the hinge...it looks like a bad design of the cable is the reason.

the cable is 1cm in width and at one point when it passes through the
hinge the cable is split into two with .5cm width each. one cable is cut at the pt where it enters the hinge, this cable is stretched to fit into the hinge, guess thats why it broke so soon...

It would be great if some1 can guide on from where and how to get this cable..

I think you have two different issues here. The black screen may be due to a CCD failure. Canon has a worldwide service notice regarding this issue, and will repair your unit at no cost if they determine this is the problem (it sounds like it is).

The little red symbol indicates your backup battery (or date/time battery) CR1616 needs to be replaced. It is located behind a small square panel which you can see to the left of the menu buttons when you open the LCD panel.
