JVC DV camera lens stuck?

Hi, we have a JVC DV camera 16x optical and 700x digital zoom, model #
GR-D70AA that is 18 months old now. It now displays a "lens cap" and
auto-focus error messages on the display, and also shows no picture on the
LCD or the B/W viewfinder. Normal picture if you playback a known recorded
tape.
There only seems to be one repairer here in Adelaide for JVC, and I don't
have a personal loan to pay for the expected quote. Anyone found this
before, and there anything I could look at first?

Regards,
Xygt

Camcorders are SMD f****g nightmares - enter at your peril !!!

Don't have the original on my news server???

I would go directly back to JVC Australia and ask them
to sort it out free of charge. Tell them you expect their
products to last for more than 18 months and ask if they
agree with your sentiments.

Pita is a type of flat bread.

A picofuse is a miniature fuse. Looks more like a small metal film
resistor, except without the coloured bands. Often a greenish or bluish
coloured ceramic body with the fuse current rating written on the outside.
Commonly used on PC motherboards to protect power supply rails feeding USB,
PS2 ports etc. Also found in various other electronic devices.

Cheers,
Alan

Not in those Digital camcorders, they are more like a small black square
about the size of the end of a pin.!!...
SMD in Camcorders has now got so damm small, you cannot use a hot air tool
without the risk of other parts moving, or loosing..
basically a Digital Camcorder has all the electronics of a PC mother board,
shrunk into a small hand device, and also included a tape loading mechanism
and a lens unit..
So I would agree, get in touch with the JVC service agent, and see if they
can extend the warranty, sometimes they will cover the Parts , but you will
have to cover the labour..

The comments were more about the previous poster's comment as follows -

"> > ** Could easily be one of those darn "mico fuse" circuit protector

I don't disagree with your observation re SMDs, just I've never heard of a
"PITA thingie".
I would guess the poster was referring to a picofuse.

Cheers,
Alan

BTW. I agree, working on some equipment which uses SMD is a nightmare.
Especially on those flexible PCB assemblies found so commonly in cameras and
camcorders these days. Needless to say I direct all those problems to
people with the patience of a saint. :)

** Then you guessed WRONG - as per usual - FUCKHEAD.

The Lilliputian fuse devices in camcorder SMD boards are know by several
names, including "circuit protectors" - but they are not NOT
"picofuses".

Okay Mr. Pedantic (I know nothing and a total idiot) Allison,

You reckon you're so full of answers and always ever so correct - NOT, how
come you got it wrong?

What then is a "mico fuse"?

What then is a "PITA thingie"?

To quote you Phil Allison - "The Lilliputian fuse devices in camcorder SMD
boards are know by several names, including "circuit protectors" - but
they are NOT "picofuses"." So they are a "mico fuse" or a "PITA thingie"
are they?

I guess you don't see many in toasters or Quad ESLs do you Toaster-Boy?

Alan

Thanks heaps for the advice all. I'll try the JVC direct option first, as my
skills are with arcade pcb's and not newer micro circuits. I'll post again
to advice how it goes.

Thanks again,

What then is a "mico fuse"?


** A simple typo for " micro fuse " - a generic title for SMD fuse
links.

What then is a "PITA thingie"?

Ooooh, you are a bit touchy today aren't you Phil?

Having a bit of a problem with those toasters are you?

You still haven't explained what a "PITA thingie" is. Seems so "out of
character" (sic) that you would make an *out of context* statement, seeing
you are constantly accusing others of doing just the same. Is there one
rule for Phil Allison and another for everybody else?


Now folks, let's just observe how Phil explains this with his usual
superlatives and strings of abuse.

Talk about "pig ignorant"..........

Yeah, I'm doing sooooooooo badly these days I have to rent a dumpy little

You're just so jealous that I'm successful and you are such a disappointing

You must be such an embarrassment to your family. You know - flunking out
of uni, reduced to toaster repairs, had to sell you beloved Quad ESLs and
now listening to an antique Sony CDP-101 CD player on a pair of Jaycar kit

The claim of lie telling is now for you to prove. Bet you can't.
** From being unceremoniously *dumped by Telstra* to a one man job agency

Once again the onus of proof is on you Phil Allison. You reckon you have
all the evidence, post it here for all to see.

Your unsubstantiated claims are -

1) I was "dumped by Telstra".

2) My company is a job agency.

3) We have only one client. If so, why don't you name that so called one
and only client?

Publish your evidence here. I'm waiting.

** Lies, lies, lies.....

1) So you did complete your degree at uni?

2) You've never owned a pair of Quad ESLs?

3) It isn't well know in this NG and aus.hi-fi that you repair toasters?

** The Sony plays CDs perfectly - plus it is NOT a scam product on the
way down the gurgler like the SACD shite the Rutmaniac constantly publicly
masturbates about.

I never said the Sony CDP-101 doesn't play CDs. The CDP-101 went on sale in
Australia in 1983, so by digital hi-fi standards it is an "antique". At
over 20 years old and probably has been repaired at least once, spare parts
are most likely becoming rare, so its days are probably numbered.

............... Phil

Remember Phil, you made the claims which I say are false. The onus of proof
is now your responsibility. As I have said before; you are full of bulldust
and bravado, hiding behind your keyboard in your rented little bed-set. You
constantly make unsubstantiated claims falsely believing you are impressing
other readers in this newsgroup. You are nothing short of a serial pest.

The Sony CDP-101 ia a 20+ year old 1st generation CD player. If you could

Notice how Phil Allison is attempting to shift the spotlight off himself.
Let's just put it back on him where it belongs for a moment or two.

1) Phil Allison did own a pair of Quad ESL57s. He later disposed of them
and purchased a pair of Quad ESL63s from a Sydney hi-fi dealer who he later
sued. Still deny owning the Quads?

http://www.google.com.au/groups?q=+...05&[email protected]&rnum=3

2) You did fail at uni.

http://www.google.com.au/groups?q=u...005&[email protected]&rnum=5

3) Phil Allison is universally recognised as a toaster repairman.

http://www.google.com.au/groups?q=t...2005&[email protected]&rnum=8

He makes up false accusations about other people and their businesses.
When confronted to publicly explain himself he dodges the issues and offers
no proof.

As I've said before. Phil Allison suffering from "little mans syndrome"
with a touch of Tourette's chucked in for good measure is a self proclaimed
"know it all" and a newsgroup troll not to mention a cyber-stalker.

Go back to where you came from Phil. You are depriving some poor village of
its idiot.
