** sony camcorder not working** help**

eiregal74

hi, i have a sony camcorder, it worked up ontill last week, when i turned ir on again it said *lens cap on* (but it wasnt) and the screen was blue, i cant record on it now but i play back tapes, does anyone know why it is saying the lens cap is on when its actually off...


many thanks for reading

What model is the camcorder ? Is the Lens cap a separate plastic cover thing or a kind of shutter in front of the lens that opens when the camera is turned on ?

hi ken,

thanks for replying, i made a bit of a mistake bout the camcorder, its actually a JVC not a sony!! sorry, its a JVC GR-D20ek, and the lens cap is a seperate plastic one that sits on the outside...thats why i cant understand why it says lens cap on when i turn it on..
