SUBJ: JVC CAMCORDER DVL805. Error message...
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
E04 unit in safeguard mode
I tried every method I could find from people posting on the web, but the method that worked for me is this.
1. Eject the tape and close the tape holder.
2. Turn the camera off and remove the battery.
3. Put the battery back in. Leave the camera off.
4. Open the tape holder.
5. Slide the tape in, but as you press the holder in to accept the tape, keep your finger pressing in on the holder, being careful not to slow the tape holder from moving downward.
6. Turn the camera on.
7. If it doesn't work the first time, press more firmly to help the tape holder accept the tape.
That's it. This method seems to work for me and lets me use the camera for a long while. If the camera is sitting unused for more than a few hours, I have to do it again. And each time I insert a tape, I make sure that I keep pressing as the tape holder lowers the tape.

I am getting E-04 message (safe guard mode) - what does this mean?
My video camera wont let me record or play
Greetings bianca50,
There is a known issue with a small button that becomes stuck causing your camera to display this error message. I would suggest ensuring this button is not stuck on your camera by putting the battery on a bit forcefully. This should eliminate the error.
Thank you,

Go Ahead. Use Us.
Will not play back
Usually if there is no impact injury involved or nagging intermittent past problems, you probably have a head cleaning issue. Try a dry type (reccomended) cleaning tape. Should be able to purchase at Best Buy or similar store.
Good luck,

Why won't my digital camera charge via USB anymore?
Take camera and its battery to a camera outlet, ask them to check the built-in rechargeable battery.
Most outlets will help you with this, as its likely that if the battery has failed, you'll buy a replacement from the same dealer.
