Condensation operation paused
Remove power from the camera. I remove the battery as well. In the back of where the tapes go, on the left side is a silver component. It's just behind a metal roller that hangs down from a plastic piece over the head. If you look behind the roller diagonally across where the tape goes, you can see a black square on the right side of the silver component. Clean this (gently!) with a moist cotton swab. The swap should get a bit of black gunk off. I'd recommend cleaning it with a dry swab next to remove any moisture. Wait a minute or so to be sure it's dry. Then re-apply power. You should not see a false condensation message for a long time.

Play back on jvc video movie GR-A1E distorted
It is possible that the heads in your JVC video camera need cleaning, especially if the playback picture looks distorted and similar to a VHS tape played on a player with dirty heads. Dirty or worn-out heads can cause playback issues, including poor picture quality, distorted images, and tracking problems.
To clean the heads in your JVC video camera, you can try the following steps:
- Purchase a head cleaning cassette: You can find head cleaning cassettes online or in electronics stores. Make sure to get one that is compatible with your JVC video camera.
- Insert the cleaning cassette: Open the tape compartment on your JVC video camera and insert the head cleaning cassette. Close the tape compartment.
- Run the cleaning tape: Press the play button on your JVC video camera to run the cleaning tape. The cleaning tape will clean the video heads as it plays.
- Eject the cleaning tape: Once the cleaning tape has finished playing, eject it from your JVC video camera.
- Test your tapes: Try playing your tapes again to see if the picture quality has improved.
If cleaning the heads does not solve the problem, it is possible that there is a more serious issue with your JVC video camera.

Sony DCR IP1E screen black
Replacing the flex cable on a camcorder can be a delicate and complex process, as it requires disassembling the device and accessing its internal components. Here are some general steps that you can follow:
- Turn off the camcorder and remove the battery.
- Locate the screws or clips that hold the casing of the camcorder in place. Depending on the model, these may be on the bottom, sides, or back of the device.
- Carefully remove the casing and set it aside.
- Locate the flex cable that connects the LCD screen to the circuit board. It may be taped or clipped in place.
- Gently disconnect the flex cable from the circuit board and LCD screen. Take note of how it is connected so that you can reattach the new flex cable correctly.
- Install the new flex cable in the same position and orientation as the old one.
- Reconnect the flex cable to the circuit board and LCD screen.
- Replace the casing of the camcorder and secure it with screws or clips.
- Reinsert the battery and turn on the camcorder to test the LCD screen.
It's important to note that the specific steps and tools required for this process can vary depending on the make and model of your camcorder. Additionally, if you're not familiar with electronics repair, it's generally recommended to have a professional technician perform the repair to avoid damaging the device or injuring yourself.
How to fix Jvc GR-D239E safemode 06?
Safemode 06 on JVC camcorders usually indicates a problem with the tape transport mechanism. It could be a mechanical issue or an electrical issue. It's possible that the black rubber you found inside the camera was a part of the tape transport mechanism that came loose or broke off. It's also possible that there is some debris or dirt stuck in the tape transport mechanism, preventing it from functioning properly.
One thing you can try is to clean the tape transport mechanism with a soft brush or compressed air. Be careful not to touch any of the delicate parts inside the camera. You can also try using a different tape to see if the problem is with the tape itself.
If cleaning the tape transport mechanism and using a different tape doesn't solve the problem, it may be necessary to take the camera to a professional for repair. They will be able to diagnose the issue more accurately and determine if any parts need to be replaced.

Hdd error on cam, wht to do?
If you are unable to reformat the hard drive using the camera, and the USB drive is not showing up on your PC, there may be an issue with the hard drive itself. You could try using a different USB cable or a different computer to see if the USB drive shows up. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the hard drive.
Before replacing the hard drive, you could try resetting the camera to its factory settings to see if this resolves the issue. You can usually find instructions for how to do this in the user manual for your camera.
If none of these steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service for assistance.
I have a sony dcr-dvd108. Can I get some help?
It sounds like your Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder may have a problem with the battery or the power connection.
For the battery issue, you can try replacing the battery with a new one that is compatible with your camcorder. The Sony NP-FP50 or NP-FP70 are compatible batteries for your DCR-DVD108. You can purchase them online or from a camera store.
As for the "Movie Disabled" message, it may be caused by the type of disc you are using. The Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder is compatible with DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, but it may not be compatible with all brands of discs. You may need to try using a different brand of disc to see if that resolves the issue.
Additionally, make sure that the camcorder is set to the correct recording mode, such as video mode, and that there is enough space on the disc to record the video. If none of these solutions work, there may be a problem with the camcorder itself, and it may need to be repaired or replaced.
