  I have a Jvc Camcorder (#GR-D90U) and i'm having the same lens cap message problem. When it happens, i'm not able to see anything on the LCD display nor record anything. The picture often come in after i remove and reinstall the battery pack. Have you had the problem diagnosed?

      Did you ever find out what the deal is with "lens cap on" when it's not? We had a JVC AND a Sony and BOTH have done this? I refuse to buy another. HELP!

  Hey guys,
  
  You are certainly not alone with this problem--it appears that many others have encountered this problem with this dvd video camera. I can't even find the software to have my PC recognize the camera to download my movies into the PC...
  
  CALL this number to have camera repaired!!!!, April 4, 2006

  Found this on JVC's website under CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION...this model is one of the reported ones, hope this helps everyone with this problem...
  
  JVC has received reports that in certain circumstances, a small quantity of units of the models listed below, may, while in the camera mode, show no picture, a distorted picture and/or display "LENS CAP" even though the lens cap is removed. We have identified the cause as a failure of the CCD image sensor. Until October 1, 2007, repairs of units exhibiting these problems will be made free of charge at JVC Factory Service Centers. Click thisFactory Service Center link to find your nearest location. Please call (800) 858-6442 if you need any assistance in obtaining a free repair.

    Hey I just happened to come upon this site I am looking for a JVC service center because as in the post that was posted my camera only shows a black screen and says lens cap even though it is off. I was wondering about the model numbers that are available for free service on this problem and where I could send it for the repairs? I would appreciate greatly any information you could give me! I am in central Oklahoma, if that helps in finding a service center closest to me. Thank YOU!
