How much would a repair cost for a camcorder?

JVC digital camcorder fault? Anyone had the same?

• My camcorder started palying up. It seems to think the lens cap is on when it clearly is off. Sometimes decides it wants to work but sometime doesn't. I can't rely on it. Took it to Jessops and the bloke told me it will cost £220 to repair, you are better off with a new one. How does he know? He has seen this in other JVC camcorders and had one himself that did this. Funny how they break just after the one year warranty expires too. If it hapens that often, why don't JVC deal with the problem before shifting them on the market?

• Answer:

  Hi. I have the 130U and mine does the same thing unless it is in a well lit room when I power it on. Make certain there is adequate lighting when you bring it out of standby or turn the power on initially. If this continues to be a problem, you may have to get it repaired or choose a different brand with your next purchase.
