I have a JVC GR D60 which I asked a previous question about. Basically it was working fine one minute and then suddenly for no apparent reason would not work with either battery or direct power (AC adaptor). When plugged in and trying to switch on, there is no response whatsoever, no light , no electric or battery seemingly. Does anyone know if there is another battery inside or perhaps a fuse which is dead or blown? I don't want to pay a lot to fix it as it is old now, but I would like to at least retrieve my cassette which is trapped inside. Thanks for your help.

Remove battery
Press and HOLD Eject as you place battery back on (so its the first command it recognizes with power) and try to eject. If it does not come out, camera will need service to remove tape or fix gears

I think this might be it:

You can download free (it will ask you to confirm a screen, but thats just to deter autoscrapers stealing them all).

See if your camcorder is listed on the JVC site for free repair...apparently this was a common problem.

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
