this message helped other JVC filmers... I have the same problem with my DVL300, there is something that realy works! Eject the tape (if the camera allows you to) take the tape out. You can the a transparant LED at about the middle of the tape. Below that LED there is a flex-foil (browncoloured), when I carefully put the flex foil back in position (towards the camera) the camera works again without headcleaning or removing the batt. I guess that the tape eject system pulls the flex-foil out of position and after hundreds of time damages the flex untill you gat a bad contact there. Greetz, Roelon
