Good afternoon all,

I have a JVC VideoMovie GR-25U from 1987. The vertical hold is acting up in Monitor mode and it stops recording after three to five seconds. The zoom does work but the AutoFocus doesn't. Is there anyone whom knows how to fix this camcorder please?

I need some help doing this so I won't go get another of the same model. Which I might do if it's worst-case.

I also have a GR-C7U which will turn on but won't go to Monitor mode, won't let me open the door to put a tape in. And it can record too but I haven't been able to.

I really need help with fixing my camcorders please. I'm saving some money aside to fix these both up again. I do have a soldering kit but know little bit to get me through a chance of fixing these alone.

Please let me know if you have any advice or guidance you can give. Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy your evening
Jacob R.
