A couple days ago everything is fine. Now my JVC GR-D72 won't play any tapes. I tried cleaning the head and airing out the inside by letting it sit for a while at room temp, but nothing. I'm not sure if it can still record or not because I couldn't see it even if it can.

Does JVC have any common problems like this? Anyone else experienced anything similar.

It's not a budget busting camera so if it is screwed I'll just buy a new camcorder. The only bad thing is I don't have the money right now and I have a 3 month old son. He's 99.9% of me being upset over this.
