Hi,

First post - not sure if this is the right place to do this.

My JVC camcorder has broken down - I use it quite a lot and have experimented with editing (thanks to tips form here).

However now when I try to use the camcorder I just get a blank screen as if there were nothing on the tape, or I get a screen which has alternate lines - about 20 of them, they are alternate between video tape signal and the still picture from the MMC card - it looks really strange !!

I have tried to clean the heads - but I assume it must be a major circut problem as it has both the video and MMC card signal on the screen at the same time.

It isn't the most expensive camera - should I try and get it repaired ? or should I just buy a newer (and better !!!) camera ?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Paul
