Please Help ! I have ( unwisely ) split my GRD50EK into 2 pieces on the dining table, trying to resolve the much reported condensation error, following instructions on another site. It then says, follow jbs138's instructions to clean the dew sensor...
but I can't find your instructions anywhere.
Would you plase be able to email them to me at
ARTIM /AT/ AOL dot COM
before the wife and 2 year old daughter sweep everything off the table onto the floor?!
Many Many thanks John

Although the message is getting around about the free repair being offered by JVC on camcorders which display the dreaded ''lens cap on'' indication, speaking as a technical person, (radio /electronics)there would appear to be an element of secrecy about the reason behind these CCD failures, and as such I would like to hear from any other ''in the know'' person what the background technical reason is for this seemingly worldwide problem and which span's such a large range of models, although I did notice that it seems to be all 800k pixel CCD's that are affected.
Even the free offer is not widely known about unless a person has web facilities, and I know people who have paid out a considerable amount of money to get their camcorders repaired, basically because the offer can only be seen on the web site.
