Re: JVC service or questions

I have a JVC digital video camera, Model GR-D90u. It was working fine as far as I know. I had just downloaded pix onto my laptop. I went down to film some video and the camera was dead. I changed batteries, still dead, and tried a/c power, still dead. Batteries are good, adaptor puts out power. I walked thru a casino in Vegas. Could the slots and other electrical items have caused a problem? Is there a reset or fuse?
Thanks,
Bob

  Same Digital Mini-Camcorder JVC Model GR-D90U - - I have pretty much the same problem. When I plug in the AC adapter the charge/power lights up, but the camera is dead, and on top of that there is a tape cartridge stuck in the half-way eject phase. The tape cartridge side is open and I can't get the camera to do anything.
  
  Any suggestions? anybody?

    Did anyone find a solution to this problem. My camera just quit on me. I had used it for 2 hours today and it had no apparent trauma. Is it possible that it overheated? No power when using a charged battery or the plug in. Thanks.

      I have the same problem with the same model. NOONE seems to be able to give any information at all. The only thing I found is that JVC makes a terrible camcorder.

    Sent this thing to JVC twice for repairs. Now having whole new problem - which I'm learning is not uncommon to other JVC camcorders of this type. CONDENSATION, OPERATION PAUSED - - PLEASE WAIT. This device has been so diappointing to us; we've missed capturing so many opportunities and events with our kids fotting around with this piece if junk - - - JVC has seen the last $ ever from me.

      I have the same problem with my jvc. Did you ever fix the CONDENSATION problem because I'm about to go off the deep end. Camera will not work. Can you help?

  I have the same camera with the same problem out of warranty and am looking to buy a new camera so i figured i would rip it to shreds to find a solution...
  Still poking around in there and nothing. I'm thinking of changing some of the components on the power circuit but there's no physical markings or anything.
  
  If I come across anything I will post it here... but as far as i know theres nothing that can be done but a professional repair or just plain replacing the unit.

  has anyone figured this power issue out as of yet. Apparently ours is dead with a tape stuck in it. I would really like to save that tape?
  
  Any suggestions to salvage the tape I would love, because apparently the power issue doesn't have a solution.
  
  Thanks1

      Yes, power issues seem to be directly related to the fuse marked F6001. It is the main internal fuse but splits to two others that might be the culprit. I have dismembered mine to find nothing out of the ordinary. I checked the battery and found it to still be good. Leave it to me to look over the obvious... the fuse!! you should be able to find a replacement for under $10 (radio shack or comp usa? ) and put it in yourself if you feel bold and think you can seperate the unit from it's plastic cage. I couldn't tell you why these units seem to be so notorious for shorting their fuses, but I can tell you that I probably overwhelmed mine when I attempted to fuse a mic jack on the av/s-video circuit board...... Won't try that again. Good luck everybody
