You can still get mini-dv tape cleaners on Amazon.

Pull the battery out to reset it. Get a DV tape cleaner to clean out the tape deck.

That should solve both.

Try removing the battery for 24 hours

Push the - what ? We are all agog to know what you have to push, provided the answer is suitable for family viewing.

There are connection issues on your main PCB. We have been successful in solving this issue by repairing multiple connections on the main board and then applying a special antioxidant grease to the connectors. This repair should be done by an experienced technician.

You have very limited options here: 1. Repair it yourself - If you don't have soldering skills, do not attempt this. 2. Send it into Panasonic - http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/MiniDV-Camcorders/Warranty-CCP/model.PV-GS300.W#ts
That site has all the warranty information and a number to call in order to get everything in motion.
3. Take it to your local electronics store - Although this is a dying breed, there are still stores all around the US that service electronics. Look in your yellow pages for the nearest repair store.

The Panasonic manual for this problem is stupid. It says "Pushing reset button MAY help resolve the problem"...
nothing else-no explanation of possible problem.....worthless.....
