My older model JVC camcorder is only playing back sound and a blue screen???


When I record on my camcorder, it appears as if is recording (i.e. I can see through the viewfinder) When I go to play back my movies though, I only see a blue screen and hear the sound.

Is this worth taking to a repair shop, or should I just buy a new camera?

You probably need to replace the video head. Check with JVC support.

It is worth taking it to a repair shop to get an appraisal but frequently it costs more to repair older out of date models then to buy a newer machine. It's worth looking into though.
Something may have gotten into your camera, or the shutter on the inside may be broken. Also try looking at the tape you are using. On most tapes there is a switch on the tape that when set on way will prevent you from recording anything on it. Or trying a completely different tape to see if it is something with that particular tape.

Good luck :)

It's got to be worth getting a quote to fix it, but repair costs are high!
