Great video, ordered the part from E bay (using my camcorders model number), took it apart and fixed it. The part was about 10 dollars and took me about 20 minutes.
Thanks a lot, I have exactly the same problem! Just ordered the flex cable at ebay and hopefully I will be able to repair my camera with the help of your video!
I am so glad to be able to help someone with my video! Was skeptical at first and having to tape it with one hand and fix the camera with the other proved to be "a hand full"! Pun intended! Thanks for watching!
***** Finally received my 2 flex cables (one spare) for only $3,89 (www.ebay.com/itm/261304164900). Repairing the camera was more work then expected, but with the help of your video I managed to get it fixed! By the way, looking at the original cable, you have to wind it around the rotor 2 times. And you need to take out the rotor from the LCD screen first otherwise the cable cannot be correctly winded around the axle. Also, I had to remove 4 screws from the main cover (see 11:21) to loosen it: 2 from the side and 2 from the bottom. Thanks a lot, I am pretty sure I would never being able to repair it without the help of your video.
I might have missed a few steps in putting all of the videos together. My apologies! Although I am very glad to have helped you fix your video camera. That was the hole point of the video. We both saved several $100 in repair! Chalk up one for the man!
FIXING FAULTY JVC TOUCH SWITCHES....MODEL GZHD 620.My camcorder could not play my videos and photos.after experimenting I found an amazing easy solution .I pulled out my battery and replaced it .Wallah ..it worked perfectly.Bash
Thanks for this vid., I had same problem with a different model Everio. My case layout is different but this helped. I would recommend labeling each screw position. I didn't and I ended up stripping a few threads. I had trouble figuring out where the magnet went on the spring arm also. Got it all back working anyway and for only 3 bucks.
Unfortunately I am not a camera repairman and I simply tried to repair my own because at that point, I had nothing to loose. What is your problem, I might be able to help the best I can.
Thank you for sharing! I have the exact camera with the exact problem! It worked yesterday at my son's high school graduation, but did not work this morning at my daughters' elementary school talent show...grrr! Do you have a part number for the flex cable you ordered? I need my camera for a dance recital ASAP, but I don't know what cable to order. Thank you in advance!
eBay does not let me go back to see my older purchases. Simply do a search for the model of your camera with the words flex cable and you should be able to find some.
Hello, thanks for the vid. I was curious, mine has a white screen, do you think it could be the flex cable as well or a diff. issue? Its pretty much brand new. Havent messed with it in a couple of years and we only used it a hand full of times and one day the screen was just white??
Hummmm, go through the first few steps of the video where I disconnect the LCD panel from the main recorder (5:19) to display the flex cable and inspect it a bit closer. I could actually see the break in mine. I was able to open the LCD screen and allow the flex to move back which kept its connection and display. As soon as I held the cable in place, which is what the housing does, I noticed the break and I lost the display. Hope this helps and hope you can find your problem!
I just brought a JVC Everio GZ-MG77U. Tried 2 SD cards in them, SDHC(32GB), SDXC(64GB). Neither of them work in the camera. Would you happen to know a compatible SD card I could buy? Thanks in advance..
My JVC GZ-MG630SU is not working. Whenever I open it, it just won't turn on!!! I tried charging it but it says it's full. I don't know what to do, can you help me?
Hi, I am not a camera repair person but there are a few things you can try. If your model of JVC has a screen that can swivel/spin and close with the display looking outwards, try turning the camera on then. If you see video, it probably means that the flex cable is broke and needs changing. Wiggle the LCD display while watching for video and if you see any slight video, it is definitely the flex cable. Hope this helps.
Hi, I have a JVC Everio Camcorder. Model: GZ-HD40AA. It has not been used for over a year. Now, the zoom & the volume control doesn't work. Zoom & volume control are the same switch. Is it worth repairing?
Hello Walter, unfortunately I am not qualified to answer this for you. I am just a regular Joe that was able to fix my problems with a faulty flex cable. Are you having problems with the LCM monitor sensors or the physical switches on the camera itself? If it is the first, It might be related to the flex cable. If it is the actual buttons or switches, it might be something physically related to the logic boards. I wish I was able to help more.
I have a JVC GZ-MG50U and when I open up the door everything around what would be the picture works but it doesn't display what the camera is pointing at. Any suggestions?
Thanks Francis! I found my flex cable on eBay and simply didi a search for "flex cable for GZ MS120BU" and found that this flex is good for many models. Hope you find the right one and are able to fix your video camera.
***** hi Mark i'm having problems similar to the one on this video, my problem is when o open screen menu appears but laser scroll won't do anything and when i connect usb lead to me computer nothing happens either, i think probably the same problem as in this video, my model is GZ-MG330HEK hard disk camcorder by Victor Company of Japan, where would i get a flex cable for this model , appreciated id anyone could let me know and or advise me. Regards Shay
hey i just went through this whole thing, nice video. I ordered the flex cable and just got done putting it back together, still no screen view. there's a different noise now when it opens. two bleeps. you know what that might be?
+Switch Not sure offhand but the beeps mean that something is not connected right. Make sure the flex cable is properly connected on the camera's circuit board and the LCD display screen. Also make sure that the cable is not plugged upside down or on the reverse side.
+LigiaCristina Arias Take down the model number of your video camera and do a search on eBay (Flex cable for Model xxxxx). I was able to find mine for about $4. It came from Hong Kong and took about 3 weeks to receive it. Still working fine to this day!
I am not a camera technician but it looks like your SD card(s) might be malfunctioning. Try simply removing it (them) and restart the camera. Might have to replace the SD card(s) or format it (them).
bensmusicworld I am sure that the general replacement of the flex cable will be the same. The differences might be the way to dismantle the camera to get to the cable itself. Make sure you order the right flex cable for your device. Thanks for watching.

Wow that's fast reply, will come to you as soon as possible, kisses from Belgium.
Cool! U've fixed it only with one hand...✌
Did my best to try and only use one hand but fumbled at a few places. Thanks for noticing.
The product is a GZ MS120. The B or R is for Black or Red.
Cool!

Did you have a new part or did you adjust the old part? I have the same problem with the JVC MS110BU.
Hi,
I have a JVC Everio Camcorder.
Model: GZ-HD40AA.
It has not been used for over a year. Now, the zoom & the volume control doesn't work.
Zoom & volume control are the same switch.
Is it worth repairing?

I have same camera but doesn't turn on and even when put for charging the camera doesnt show charging indication or any sign of working 😢
I have the same camera and need a new cable I'm not sure witch one to order.
Do a search on eBay for the model number and the correct flex cable should appear. Thanks for watching.
I have a JVC GZ-MG50U and when I open up the door everything around what would be the picture works but it doesn't display what the camera is pointing at. Any suggestions?
Wow... assuming that the camera was dropped and the lens within it is now dislodged. Cannot be sure.
nice video! where can i get a new flex cable? is there a specific size i should ask for?
Thanks Francis! I found my flex cable on eBay and simply didi a search for "flex cable for GZ MS120BU" and found that this flex is good for many models. Hope you find the right one and are able to fix your video camera.
I have exactly the same model JVC Everio. I haven't had that problem yet. Where did you get the new flex cable from ?
I searched eBay and looked for "flex cable for JVC Everio MS120BU" and found the correct piece! Was about $3USD
is there anyway to know what SD card works? i am trying to format a 64 gb sd card to this model but states format error. Please help
Daniel Barkan If memory serves me right, for this model video camera, you are limited to 2 x 32gb sd cards
Have you lost your LCD display?

+denmarcbros I was thinking that. thanks I'll double check
Cool, let me know!
Where can I buy the flex cable ?

My everio zoom is broken and is locked very near. Button dont works. Anybody can give me an idea if it is reparable?
i have this shit,,and its freezing on screen,, the circle thing spinning in the middle of display but I cant go anywhere ! any idea?

I cant find flex cable for my gzms125se. Help
Do a search on eBay for "flex cable gz-ms125se" and don't forget to add the dash between "gz" and "ms125se". Found lots of them!
Mine has the same problem but mine is a GZ-HD620BEK with a 120GB HDD.
bensmusicworld I am sure that the general replacement of the flex cable will be the same. The differences might be the way to dismantle the camera to get to the cable itself. Make sure you order the right flex cable for your device. Thanks for watching.
My picture is upside down can you plz help
tring 2 find one 4 a gzms130 bu on looked on ebay could find one
Thanks for watching. Hope you find one!
i think on ebay
Where the sd. card goes can that be replace,the is the sd. Card does not stay in that any advaise
Not sure if you can replace the SD slots. They are part of the main casing of the camera. Might have to ask the company for that one.
I have no idea why they design it like that...
... to make it complicated enough to have to send it for repair and simply buy another one!
***** We had two of these cameras in the family. Both suffered the same exact problem in the screen. We never got around to fixing either. lol.
Give it a try and let me know how it went.
***** I have found a position where the screen works. Flexing it back and forth helps it a little.
