Broken Optical Fibre?

I have a JVC GR-D70EK.  I noticed it was rattling, and found pieces of what looked like fine glass rod - maybe about 1mm in diameter.  I have been getting the 'Lens Cap' error sometimes (not always) but can't be sure if that is due to the inherent CCD fault that JVC have already acknowledged, or if it is anything to do with this glass rod?  I can't really be sure that this rod came from inside the unit, but it seems that way.  Do you know if there is a 'fine glass rod' inside these units, what it does, and what the symptoms would be if it got broken?

Thanks.

    My camcorder had some thing rattling inside and when I took the cassette out to check I couldn't insert it again. And now there is no power and not responding to the charger also.

Connection to the PC

In order to connect your GR-D70US to your USB port, you must insert an MMC or SD memory card into the camera, however neither of these cards is included with the GR-D70US, and the card must be purchased separately. You may contact the JVC parts department at 1-800-882-2345 or visit the JVC online accessory store to purchase a MMC or SD memory card. Some local retailers may also carry these memory cards.
