Have you thought of consulting the manual ? There is often a surprising amount of useful information contained therein.

Fixed it, at least temporarily I had the side off my trv250 examining it, especially the CCD connection. I had read the post about soldering a capacitor to pins 1 and 3 (from the left) on the bottom row. I didn't have the specific capacitor on hand, but I started touching some of the small ones I did have to those pins. I found that after I touched a 100uF, 10V cap to pins 1 and 3 the picture suddenly came back to life and stayed that way after removing the cap. I have no idea how long this will last, and I've set up the cam on a tripod in the livingroom with the LCD display facing me so I can monitor it. If you, like me, figure you have nothing else to lose, you might want to give this a try. Note: my camera was suffering from the green smeary horizontal lines problem, and wasn't completely black. I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not.

I contacted samsung today after finding out this was a frequent problem with this model camera and they told me they area ware of the problem and offered to fix it for free or send me a refurbished one for free. I opted to have them fix mine.. They said they are sending me a shipping label that I should receive by Monday. It will take them 7-14 business days to fix and they will send it back. It might be worth a try caling them. (I bought my camera in 2003 and I guess the camera's made close to that date had a malfunction that they will fix even though the warranty is expired.

does anyone have any suggestions for us, or has anyone else ever experienced this same problem?

press menu button, left or right arrow button until you come upon REC Mode. Choose option Normal. Yours is on Multiburst and that is causing your problem. Changing it to Normal should fix it.

Have you tried reducing the machine to the basic unit and restarting it (take out any options and just reset the memory sticks). If it restarts, with a minimal configuration (like troubleshooting a PC) then just add things back, one by one until you find the culprit.
With your camcorder powered ON, and set to VCR / playback, there should show on the screen (viewer) something indicating "Menu" or a "FN" (Function) option. Select "Menu" (or Function icon to lead to the Menu). Check through the Menu options to find "Mode", and find the option for Normal Recording or playback, as opposed to "Test Mode", or "Demonstration Mode".
If this does not solve the problem, try this: Turn the camera OFF, remove camera battery, re-install battery, turn camera ON and see if that Re-set the camera. If not, it might be resolved by manually resetting the time and date. Then go to the Menu again to set Mode to normal recording or playback.
If those do not correct the problem, there is no shame in calling the camera company to speak with Tech-services. That's what they are there for.
