Dark screen- No images- some shadows horizontally

My JVC camcorder is approx 4 yrs old. Received it new as a gift---never used before. Recently set up camera for filming-----was not able to view any images in viewfinder or on LCD screen. All I seem to get is a grey---blank screen with some shadows across horizontally.

    Thank you for your assistance. I will seek a camera shop in my area. I regret that I didn't try this earlier while it was under warranty. I hope it will not be an expensive repair.

If you get a blank LCD, dimly lightened by a whitish back light, then the LCD display eis either faulty, badly connected, or the ribbon connector to LCD is defective.
The camera must be taken apart, ribbon cable tested, and eventually replaced and adjusted.
If all contacts on ribbon cable return continuity (cable is fine), then LCD is faulty, and must be replaced.
Althought the job is not too difficult, an user without experience may damage the camera in attempting this repair.
My first suggestion is always taking the unit to a camera shop.

Dark horizontal line

likely coming from main board which is involved in all signal---on screen display comes directly from a different area---4 years is about the life span of one of these sets---Google the model number with parts to see which boards it uses and what they sell for.

Dark shadow on right side of picture

sounds like a shutter leaf dropping into the image. however, they are usually horizontal and more likely to manifest when in landscape mode. (horizontal, normal)
try using flash pointed up to ceiling.
also, could need to check for auto sync speed setting. usually 1/125 to 1/60. if its off, it could be catching the shutter in the wrong place.
check manual for settings for using flash.

DVD player producing poor colour image

Go purchase a DVD player cleaner. It will look somewhat like a DVD/CD and will clean the read heads. Often the issues is dirt/dust.

Horizontal snow lines on record and playback

the symptom is caused by a dirty video head. sometimes cleaning tape cannot do all the jobs, especially when the dirt is so much that any cleaning tape cannot remove it. open the cover, use a clean white paper dampened with a little alcohol. use your finger on the paper and gradually move the head drum back and forth. donot move the paper up or down. just move the drum slowly. good luck!
